Dear all,

 I am using Chris Colfax's animation patch. I'd like to know how I could
get the changing values during the animation, for example, rotated angle
on sequential image.
I really appreciate the help from POV'ers with my previous similar
posting a while ago. Since then, however,  I've got not much of
improvement in programming knowledge of POV.
If I change the light source angle from 0 to -180 around Z axis, I'd
like to get or extract the value of the angle for that specific frame,
and pass the number for text printing on the image.
For frame 1, the rotated angle value would be 0,  and some middle
numbers, and then the final
number -180.
Are there any specific variable name Chris might have assigned for the
ClockMod patch I could use?
=====================

#declare somevariable= TheChangingAngle  // Need help for this sort of
assigning
  light_source { <-80,0, -50> color rgb<1,1,1>
                      rotate
                     From (0.0, <0,0,0>)
                     Using("",1,1,"")
                     To(1, <0,0,-180>
                     }
==================
Thanks,

Jong
