I want to colour a lathe object with a gradient going around the surface, so at
a particular point, start and end colors clash along a vertical line. How do I
do this?

To clarify, right now my gradient cy cles twice, no mater how I scale it.


 lathe {
    linear_spline

    2,

    <5.7, .1>,
    <6.3, -.1>


    pigment {
       gradient x
    color_map {
      [0.00 color Black]
      [1.00 color rgb <1.0, 0.5, 0.2>
]
    }
    scale 12
    }

In documentation:
lathe, sor : modified spherical mapping... the u coordinate (0..1) wraps around
the y axis, while the v coordinate is linked to the object's control points
(also ranging 0..1). Surface of Revolution also has special disc mapping on the
end caps if the object is not 'open'.
