hello there

i have wrote a program who do that few years ago
it parses the result of a second trace and manage information to create 
html image maps.

the second image is low quality, with only quick color.


programming language is C ansi and compiled for linux, but i plan to 
translate it in povray language. (current version allow only 256 object 
and need a tga image )

you can see an application at  :

(not always online)


contact me for the source/binary


have a nice day
