Hello Forgeron, Thanks for your advice!

My purpose is to get a map file which can show a link between the 2D coordinate
of the result image and the 3D coordinate that is described in the POV file.

I want to fulfill this purpose by modificate the source code of POV-Ray, is it
possible to do it in this way? Can you give me any advice on this idea?

And I want to read the document for this part of the source code.

I followed your advice to read the source code of the 3.1g version, but I didn't
build it successfully...

Thanks again!
