I've corrected the slash (the png file is in the same directory as the pov
file)
I've corrected the curly bracket.


 #declare panel= prism {
    linear_sweep
    linear_spline
    0, // sweep the following shape from here ...
    0.01, // ... up through here
    4, // the number of points making up the shape ...
    <0,0>, <5,0>, <5,5>, <0,5>
     texture {
      pigment{
      image_map {png "noddy2.png"
        }
       }

      }
 rotate<-90,0,0>
 translate<0,6,0>
 scale 0.5
  }
The file parses with no error message but no visible result.
How is an image file supposed to adapt to it's suport. The image file has a
transparent part. Could it be that only the transparent part is on the
panel?
