Here is the rainbow function as described in the 3.1g docs. Is it something
that I can turn into a UDO? When I do will it look like the rainbow shape
that it is suppose to produce except in a wire frame mode?

#include "colors.inc"
  camera {
    location <0, 20, -100>
    look_at <0, 25, 0>
    angle 80
  }
  background { color SkyBlue }
  plane { y, -10 pigment { color Green } }
  light_source {<100, 120, 40> color White}
  // declare rainbow's colors
  #declare r_violet1 = color rgbf<1.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.0>;
  #declare r_violet2 = color rgbf<1.0, 0.5, 1.0, 0.8>;
  #declare r_indigo  = color rgbf<0.5, 0.5, 1.0, 0.8>;
  #declare r_blue    = color rgbf<0.2, 0.2, 1.0, 0.8>;
  #declare r_cyan    = color rgbf<0.2, 1.0, 1.0, 0.8>;
  #declare r_green   = color rgbf<0.2, 1.0, 0.2, 0.8>;
  #declare r_yellow  = color rgbf<1.0, 1.0, 0.2, 0.8>;
  #declare r_orange  = color rgbf<1.0, 0.5, 0.2, 0.8>;
  #declare r_red1    = color rgbf<1.0, 0.2, 0.2, 0.8>;
  #declare r_red2    = color rgbf<1.0, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0>;
  // create the rainbow
  rainbow {
    angle 42.5
    width 5
    distance 1.0e7
    direction <-0.2, -0.2, 1>
    jitter 0.01
    color_map {
      [0.000  color r_violet1]
      [0.100  color r_violet2]
      [0.214  color r_indigo]
      [0.328  color r_blue]
      [0.442  color r_cyan]
      [0.556  color r_green]
      [0.670  color r_yellow]
      [0.784  color r_orange]
      [0.900  color r_red1]
    }
  }
