the current synthese algorithm needs to build the entire new image_map before
using it, You have to tell you want a 500x500 new image, it computes it, and
then uses it. This algorithm can't find a value at a random (x,y) point
directly. (And the construction is quite slow so if you want to use it it's
better to create the image, save it, and use it as a normal image_map)
so in 3D it would be possible but the result would be pre-computed values on a
3D grid (voxels) of a given size

thanks, i writed it in docbook xml format and used some modified .xsl to try
to match the povray documentation :)
