POV 3.5 b 7 on PII 233 128 MB with NT 4 Sp 6

I had such syntax within isosurface:

  max_gradient 10
  evaluate 1, 10, 0.99

but renderer said after trace

  Warning: The maximum gradient found was 184.775, but max_gradient of
  the isosurface was set to 1988.679. Adjust max_gradient to
  get a faster rendering of the isosurface.

IMO 1988.679 <> 10. Expected behaviour, misunderstand or bug ?

I think this is something which has been fixed for the next beta. You should
wait for it and see if the problem still exists.

So, the max_gradient value in the scene file is the 'initial' value
and it is re-declared in the estimation (or rendering) process.

I think only the sentense "Warning: The maximum gradient found was 184.775."
 is enough for the evaluatation result.

I can't agree. When there are more then one isosurfaces simetimes initial value
is only way to recognize where founded value shuold be applied.

The problem is that many people don't read the documentation and then
complain about "holes and other bugs" with isosurfaces (see several messages
in these groups).  I would also prefer a shorter message, but as long as
many people who use a free software cannot be asked to read the
documentation before reporting something as a bug this message is a
inconvenience that has to be forced upon all users :-(

I don't like bothering but there is nothing about difference between typed value
and outputed value. in that thread :-(
Perhaps it was misunderstand but I reported here that I wrote 10 in script but
report message said I wrote 1988.679. I know meaning of the message. It is
annoing when you are trying find isosurface from many isosurfaces to apply
calculated value.

IMO you misunderstand this bug report. I wrote 10 but report said I wrote more
than 1900. I understand inner behaviour, I just pointed out is says false.

I was not refering to you or the bug report at all.  I was only pointing out
the need for the additional parts of the message that appear unnecessary for
those who did read the documentation.

But I didn't wrote about 'found' value but about initial value!!!

Yes, I say it "changes your max_gradient", so if it *changes* your
max_gradient, how can it report *your* max_gradient? - It cannot and thus it
will report the *changed* max_gradient!

Anyway, just take my word for it:  This has long ago been fixed for the
_next_ beta.

BTW, why do you try to convince me that it is a bug when I have already
*acknowledged* that it is a bug? (Rhetoric question only, no answer
expected!)  Somehow communication failed completely...

Can't it be remembered in local variable? It can report isosurface line within
source. Why it can't remember initial value? It shows line and then says 'value
was set to ...'

Because it is a ***bug*that*it*changes*the*user*supplied*max_gradient***!!!
It was never supposed to change it the way it does and then output that as
the user supplied max_gradient!!!

It has nothing to do with the *algorithm*, but a ***bug*** in the
*implementation* of the algorithm.  This obviously has to be fixed by
changing the *implementation* of the algorithm, not by *changing* the
*algorithm* itself!!!  And as I said:  It *has* been fixed this way already,
so any suggestion on how to change the *algorithm* to fix it is completely
unnecessary because the *algorithm* is correct, only its *implementation* is
*not* correct in beta 7!!!

  Really? Did you actually read the whole thread? More precisely, this
article of mine:

  Ok, I did it, and there clearly is a difference.
  I tested with this small example:

#include "functions.inc"

camera { location -z*5 look_at 0 angle 35 }
light_source { <100,200,-300>, 1 }

isosurface
{ function { x^2+y^2+z^2-(1-.2*f_noise3d(x*8,y*8,z*8)) }
  contained_by { sphere { 0,1 } }
  max_gradient 2
  evaluate 1,10,.99
  pigment { rgb x } finish { specular .5 }
}


  The older version (ie. beta7) rendered that in 1 min 30 seconds in this
computer. The report was a bit odd:

Warning: The maximum gradient found was 3.555, but max_gradient of
the isosurface was set to 310.201. Adjust max_gradient to
get a faster rendering of the isosurface.

  The newer version renders the example above in 13 seconds, which is a clear
improvement.

Warning: The maximum gradient found was 3.477, but max_gradient of the
isosurface was set to 2.000. The isosurface may contain holes!
Adjust max_gradient to get a proper rendering of the isosurface.

  The max_gradient value of 3.477 seems to be correct. When I set max_gradient
to that, the isosurface renders ok.

  It seems that now 'evaluate' doesn't actually change the max_gradient, but
just calculates the correct one and reports it. The example above renders
equally whether or not the 'evaluate' is there.
  This behaviour seems logical to me.

You do realize that it outputs the line number of the isosurface, don't you?
So there is absolutely no need to use the max_gradient to identify different
isosurfaces...
