I had some fun trying out the dispersion feature over Easter - trying to
write a macro set to give a good colour spectrum for different numbers
of channels. It almost works, so I'll post it if there is any interest.

The question: can I set up a similar colour spectrum for objects? 
Say I have my light shining through a glass of coloured liquid - I'd
want to set the filter characteristics for each channel so the
refracted, dispersed spectrum would show the absorption colour of the
liquid (virtual spectroscopic analysis? ;-)

Can this sort of thing be defined?

	TIA,
