Hi,
can't figure out why this construction don't work:
-------------------------------------------------
#declare X = 0;
sphere_sweep {
   linear_spline
   4,
   #while (X < 4)
     <X,0,0>, 0.1
     #declare X = X + 0.1;
   #end
}
-------------------------------------------------
and how to create sweep 'on the fly'.
Similar construction work fine for creating color_map, for example...

Help please !

You specify 4 as the number of points, but you are counting by 0.1,
which gives 40 points.

One of the more annoying features of POV-Ray IMO is having to count the
points beforehand, but it is what it is.

Oh, really, thanks a lot !

Indeed, I've already fallen into this pitfall, and now did it again...
