Isn't this, what the "solid"-keyword is meant for? "Causes the same value to
be generated for every point within a specific cell." This way you get one
index for one cell - but you still have to find out a way to map the wanted
colors to the color-indices. Perhaps some "eval_pigment" in a loop? Evaluate
the index of the cell, evaluate the color for this cell, safe that color in
an array at the specified index. Use that array to create the color_map for
the cracle pattern. Might work or not :-)
