Hi Lewis,
	I've been playing with this patch for a few days now, but it hadn't
occured to me to use it quite this way ...

	Anyhow, there is one extra level of refinement you can use with
Nathan's patch - chromatic dispersion of the light. I've attached a
quick render with similar geometries to your picture, but with the light
source set up with a colour spectrum and dispersion on the half
cylinder.

	The code for setting up the light source colour spectrum is still a
little experimental, but I could post it if there is any interest.

	Bye for now,
		Mike Andrews.
