  "Patching" is a term which means modifying the source code of the program
in order to add a feature (or fix a bug or whatever).

  Since what you want to do is doable with the scene description language,
you don't need to patch anything.

  Read my answer to your question in the other group. (Your mistake was
simply that the macro wants a function returning a scalar, while you were
trying to give it a function returning a color; this has a very easy solution
which I mentioned there.)

#macro M(A,N,D,L)plane{-z,-9pigment{mandel L*9translate N color_map{[0rgb x]
[1rgb 9]}scale<D,D*3D>*1e3}rotate y*A*8}#end M(-3<1.206434.28623>70,7)M(
