    Here are a couple of images I produced last night with this useful
 little utiliy. The first image used the non linear object scaling and
 the second used the uniform scaling option. I like the appearence of
 depth obtained as seen in the first image, but prefer the compared
 color accuracy form the original to the pov version, better as it
 appears in the second image.
