  Field rendering bug?

I'm actually using povray 3.1 but perhaps this applies to the new beta too.

The documentation for "Field Rendering" says that line numbering in pov
starts from 0 and that by default it outputs an EVEN field first. This
suggests that in the first output file out001.tga it is the TOP line and
following alternate lines which contain the useful data, with the other
lines beneath being duplicates.

However using povray 3.1 it seems that my out001.tga file has the
line-below-the-top which contains the useful data, and the line immediately
below is a duplicate. This looks like the ODD field is first (if you count
line numbers from 0).

Is this a bug? And does the beta behave like this?

Colin
