"sunpos" requires an input of h:m:s, lat long, to provide the correct
direction of the sun's light. This requires an implicit assumption of the
direction of the N-S meridian. I was wanting to find out if this was the
z-axis. Since then I have found in the help files that the N-S line is
indeed the z axis. Now I just wonder at the answer to the second
question-can one do global rotations of whole scenes? I suspect the answer
is no. JLH
