Hi:

Here is my last humble macro for your criticism and suggestion:

The Composition guides for pov-ray camera.

Includes 16 grids that I've collected from various tutorials on picture
composition.
The golden spiral is an image map that cannot be altered, unless someone invents
a way to modify it color by a parameter.

More info about composition and grids:

Hi
On paper I have found a way to fit the golden spiral grid. Within 24 hours I
think I will publish the update.

At povray.text.scene-files you should find now the updated-no-image_map-version
of the composition guides fh include file (and a small demo.scene) which adjust
the golden spiral to the aspect_ratio. Note that is drawn in the center of the
image, whether the aspect ratio is greater or less than phi. Damn mathematics.

Signs that indicate the aspect ratio of the images B and C are changed and mean
that if the ratio is less than phi the golden spiral is restricted vertically
and if greater than phi excess the space horizontally.
