Hi all

Please could somebody help me.

I have a grid of data (in a 512 x 512 matrix) as an ascii file and would like to
create a surface from the data in POVRAY.

I would like the surface to be contoured according to the data in the grid.

Once done, the image will reflect the data, but will look great in POVRAY.

Has anybody any idea of how this can be done? Ideally, I would like to just
refer to the ascii file using "quote marks" and not have to type (or cut and
paste) the data into the POVRAY file.

Thanks
