no doubt!  Math is much more fascinating when we can visualize equations as
graphs...

povray has always been to me an excellent tool to teach people both geometry
and introductory computer programming.

you do know that there are quality parameter both via the command-line and
from the Render Settings GUI dialog that allow for very fast rendering,
don't you?  Only thing lacking, I guess, would be allowing the mouse to
manipulate that render window by zooming in/out and rotating freely.
Wouldn't that be a cool application for the real-time rendering in povray
3.7? :)
