Thank you, Chris.

Works perfect!

One more newbie question about the gray level or color calculation of the
POV for precision:

In order to get higher precision output such as 16 bit/color PNG, what
parameters should be adjusted?
For example, do I better change the adc_bailout value from 1/255 default to
1/65000?
Are there any to be changed accordingly?
