Yes, it does seem so. But I've re-read the slope pattern definition a bunch
of times, and still keeping coming up with  my *own* (wrong) conclusion
about how it operates.  :-[

Yes, I agree, that does work beautifully. That's exactly the way I finally
textured my object. But what I as *hoping* was that I could "restrict" the
full color_map colors to only a portion of the object...based on the
object's normals (using a sphere as a simple example.) Alas, no.

Your tip about the <0,-1,0> mistake in the docs has me scratching my
head...I thought I fairly well understood it as written! Egads, time to go
back over the docs once again....

Thanks for your response.
