You can have the source code although it feels like revealing my butt again. If
you like I'll mail it to you.
Actually this was not what I wanted the original GUI-stuff for. I am working on
another editor for a cartoonfigure which is much more complicated. This was just
a sidestep and I thought I could show what I was trying to do and how far I got
with using POVray. If you can get it together in a way I can understand I'd be
most grateful, but please don't feel the need to hurry on my account. I'm not
planning to make any bigtime stuff, just the complicated but crappy editor for
my own use and the odd small thing that might come out of this. If I knew a way
to incorporate POV in another program I can easily imagine all sorts of simple
apps to generate INC-files. I'm much more comfortable in Delphi that I am in
POV-macro's (although I like those very much too).
