I have applied an image map to a plane, but I found that it is stretched
along the whole thing and only repeated in one direction. I want it to tile
on the plane evenly. How can I do this?

My code looks like so:

plane {
  y, -2
  pigment { image_map {jpeg "b26.jpg"}
  }
}

The image isn't lying on the y-plane, but rather on the z/-z plane. What you 
need to do, is rotate the image_map to correspond to your plane:

plane { y, -2  pigment { image_map {jpeg "b26.jpg"} rotate x*90 }}

That should do it. And the image should then properly repeat in all 
directions.

Regards,
Tim
