I'm very glad to hear that

The use of matrices should be very clear in the macro. If you have any
questions, feel free to ask me here or in Pov general. Once you have reached
a very basic understanding of matrices, a visit to
http://davidf.faricy.net/povre.html should clear up most remaining
questions. On thing missing from the site (to my recollection) is an
explanation of the combining of matrices. When you reach a point that this
knowledge is necessary, I or someone else will be happy to outline it for
you.

I was living under a bridge and digging ditches during the time in my life
when most here were in college. I did not know a thing about math until I
started seriously getting into Pov-Ray a few months ago. I am slowly
learning.

EXCELLENT. This is the reason for all of the comments!! I wanted the macro
to be clear enough that anyone would be able to easily modify it for their
own needs or wants.
