  Dot-Operator problems... (Message 1 to 5 of 5)

So, what I'm trying to do is code some Mesh-Creation-Macros.
The initial thing I'm starting with is a heightfield. All it does
is run across a given pigment and determine the height from
that (similiar to the real heightfield).
However, the hf's resolution is set by the User.

My problem is this:
When reading PNG images, POV will issue
1.732051... as highest value, where the the function is called
like this:

#macro _MCM_HF_Evaluate(_Pig,_PosUV)
 #local _MCM_HF=function{pigment{_Pig}};
 #local _Return=_MCM_HF(_PosUV.x,_PosUV.y,_PosUV.z).red;
 _Return
#end

Since I'm only using the red-component, why is it that
larger? White is composed of rgb <1,1,1>, so I expect
to get 1 back, not 1.7... Anybody got an idea what this
is about?

It must have something to do with that value being the square root of 5,
huh?

I think you mean the square root of 3 :P
