I am trying to combine pigments and functions in different ways. Here is 
an example:


#declare pigment_1 = pigment
{
	slope {+y}
	color_map
	{
		[0 rgb 0]
		[1 rgb 1]
	}
}
#declare function_1 = function {pigment {pigment_1}}
#declare pigment_2 = pigment {function {function_1(x,y,z)}


But I am getting a parse error on pigment_2. What is the correct syntax 
to get this example to work?

You don't have to use the x, y, z until you actually evaluate the function for
something.

So you should just be able to do:

#declare pigment_2 = pigment {function {function_1}}

Also, test_clu.pov ran for 6:45, and I halted it, as it was still parsing away
like mad.  You must have quite a system if you did it in 2:20.

Maybe just attach your completed render?

I found what I was looking for here:

http://news.povray.org/povray.newusers/thread/%3C5473da29%40news.povray.org%3E/

But I cannot get it to produce anything other than rgb <0,0,0> in the 
render. See p.t.s-f.

I got this all to work. Will update the other thread later.
