Hi All,

I'm new to POV-Ray and I'm trying to create a "bent cylinder" or a thick arc
that passes through 5 points. I think that a quadratic spline might do it, but
I'm not sure exactly how to go about it... The five points I would like it to go
through are the following and I would like are:

sphere {
<0,0,0>, 0.400000
translate <19.857401,2.216100,1.258800>
pigment { rgbt <0.000000,0.000000,1.000000,0.000000> }
}
sphere {
<0,0,0>, 0.400000
translate <21.089600,9.403000,4.822600>
pigment { rgbt <0.000000,0.000000,1.000000,0.000000> }
}
sphere {
<0,0,0>, 0.400000
translate <19.241899,0.224900,9.172700>
pigment { rgbt <0.000000,0.000000,1.000000,0.000000> }}
}
sphere {
<0,0,0>, 0.400000
translate <11.432800,2.216100,11.043700>
pigment { rgbt <0.000000,0.000000,1.000000,0.000000> }
}
sphere {
<0,0,0>, 0.400000
translate <10.200600,9.403000,7.479900>
pigment { rgbt <0.000000,0.000000,1.000000,0.000000> }
}


Help please!


Thanks in Advance,

Jack
