This is my first message, well question in here, (well suprise suprise this
is the newusers NG).  I've been playing around with the if statement, along
with trying to use blobs, how does this work exactly.  I've included the
file to show you, but no no avail am I getting anywhere.  Also if you take
away the blob line completely it should render.  The screen is split up into
four colours (well three and white), why are they so defined and not
gradual.  I'm sure the idea of C,S and T(an) is that whatever the number it
becomes a no between 0 and 1.  And so if multiplied by 255, should give the
colours?  Right doesent that mean the colours should fade between each
other?  Well anyway I hope you can help cos this is giving me a head ache.

  Where did you get that number 255? Not from the povray documentation, that's
sure.
  Povray uses colors from 0 to 1. 0 is completely dark and 1 is completely
lit.
  That 255 makes no sense. Some image formats (for example png) can use,
for example, 65536 values per color component.

Thats the obvious fault, I'd got it into my head that RGB were between 1 &
255, rather than 0 and 1.  This is how the system is done for the net and
PSP etc, I obviously, assumed without checking and assumed wrong, thanks,
oops (yet again)
