A veil is starting to life from my eyes. Your reply -- and our discussion
over at

<web.43555e39142797ad399425f30@news.povray.org>

got me to thinking about the subject in much broader terms.  I'm finally
starting to *see*  the connection between color_maps, ( & density_maps &
normal_maps and the like), their values, and the math functions like CELLS
that operate on them. It has been a day of discovery!  Can't say much more
yet; I'm still experimenting....which is leading to even more discoveries!

(For those interested, I posted a message at the thread above on a different
topic, but the discussions are starting to converge around a more general
topic that also relates to this one.)
