Hi Jim,

I've been working on a label generator over the last few days. The objects I 
sent in for the 'office supplies' subject both needed labels, so I took the 
code I wrote for them to make a generic labelling system. As of this morning 
it generates either flat or cylindrical labels using layers of pigment to 
incorporate combinations of POV-Ray objects and image maps.

By coincidence, yesterday I was thinking about how to do labels for rounded 
boxes/superellipsoids though I haven't coded that up yet. I was thinking of 
using the width, the depth and the roundness of the corners to control the 
shape of a label. The label width would control how far around the sides of 
the container the label stretched. Any ideas for anything that might make it 
more useful to you?

Regards,
Chris B.
