Hi all,

    I have just started using Include files in my attempts at making
images, but I cannot find any way of manipulating them.  That is, how do
I translate, rotate, scale etc any include files in Moray?

You can create a simple UDO file to represent your included object.  I use
such a file to access the parallel light features in UVPOV (although my UDO
object is more elaborate than a cube) from within Moray.

Example...

;BEGIN FILE
;
; Example of a user-defined object
;
; This file specifies a cube, so it's not of much use<g>.
;
Name 'Cube'

;Specify the file that should be included to access this object
IncludeFile 'INCLUDEFILE.INC'

[Cube:Vertices]
8
-0.5, -0.5, -0.5
-0.5,  0.5, -0.5
 0.5,  0.5, -0.5
 0.5, -0.5, -0.5
-0.5, -0.5,  0.5
-0.5,  0.5,  0.5
 0.5,  0.5,  0.5
 0.5, -0.5,  0.5

[Cube:Edges]

0 1
1 2
2 3
3 0
4 5
5 6
6 7
7 4
0 4

[End]

;END FILE

Alex,

One other thing that I forgot to mention...

the UDO name of your object should be the same as the #delcare name in your INC
file.
