Could you give me a example?

Thanks

Image maps in the pigment statement. A good tutorial on the
subject here - http://members.xoom.com/yang4yang/pov/imap1.html

Still not the right newsgroup, but what the heck...

tar, no.  tar isn't a bitmap format.  To use bmp or gif as a texture,
please see "image_map" in the POV manual.  There are even some examples.
