Could I put the "rainbow" function inside of a torus with half its radio cut
with a plane, and then use that inside of Moray to align it in the wireframe
mode inside my scence, then export it and line up the rainbox inside of POV
Ray to fit with that object. In other words the torus becomes a proxy for
the function?

Hi Mitchell Waite, you recently wrote in moray.win:

From looking at how the rainbow is specified (distance, angle, etc) I
would say no. Since the torus would be placed using scale, rotate,
translate, the rainbow requires different parameters....

that's so pretty tricky cool! if i really understand it right, it will
open a lot of new possibilities!
i always thought, include files are the only way to add pov-code into a
moray-scene.
