In 6.5.9 Object Modifiers, syntax description

OBJECT_MODIFIER:
    ...
    no_shadow           |
    no_image            |
    no_reflection       |
    ...
    double_illuminate   |
    hollow              |
    ...

Should read :

OBJECT_MODIFIER:
    ...
    no_shadow                   |
    no_image [ Bool ]           |
    no_reflection [ Bool ]      |
    ...
    double_illuminate [ Bool ]  |
    hollow [ Bool ]             |
    ...

Mind that no_shadow does NOT accept a boolean - should this be changed ?


Povingly,

Philippe

Section 10.1.9 Object Modifiers should also be enhanced accordingly.  Relevant bit
shown here:
OBJECT_MODIFIERS:
    . . . & [no_image [BOOL]] & [no_reflection [BOOL]] & [inverse] &
[double_illuminate [BOOL]] & . . .

For consistency, perhaps.  Apparently you were just curious and tried each
possibility?

Yes, for consistency.

Just curious ? No, but I like to check before posting. I mistakenly 
wrote no_shadow on (bcs of the inconsistency), checked the doc. Then see 
hollow with no [Bool] but remember using it with on and see the hollow 
on example farther in the page. And I think I remember seeing on with 
no_image and double_illuminate, so I tested to post a complete bug report...

[However that does not prevent me from making the most horrendous errors 
as in my [template] isosurface post... I think I now know how I 
constructed the false memory that made me post this aberation.]


Povingly,


Philippe
