Thanks a lot, I do not need matrix operations.


I looked at the link that you sent to me, but my problem is that I have a
huge data and there are no commas between elements and also between rows as
in the Povray definition below:

#declare Digits =
 array[4][10]
 {
  {7,6,7,0,2,1,6,5,5,0},
  {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},
  {0,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1},
  {1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5}
 }


Since it is not possible to put commas and also brcakets with to huge data
(if there is a way to do this not by hand please let me know) what can I
do?
