Also, maybe someone can hunt down a copy of this paper:
I couldn't find a copy anywhere (so far)

I got no farther than this:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1467-8659.2007.00949.x

Pricey guys those editors! It is slowly changing with journals gradually 
becoming more "open access". However, the /big/ journal editors (like 
Wiley) are stalling of course...

Ugh - I was, casually.  Forgot about that.  Did the trick - thanks   :)
I dug up a few other papers, will see if they have anything that helps in the
current situation.

Thanks, Ingo

This is a thin prism (0 to 0.1) with a single point light behind the left edge.

I'm wondering if eval_pigment could act as a way to guide the result?

Yeah! Still need to answer these comments. I have a bunch of RL writings 
to do presently. However, I have some ideas and shall not forget. Just 
in need of time...

I know.  I'm busy for next 2-3 days as well, but it's all still kicking around
up there.

Have to look into this.

My choice is this (See also the latest beta: Granite_21_beta_1.4.mcr 
below) is:
- a master macro: Granite_21 ()
- include files containing the necessary arrays for the different 
granites, and to be declared by the user and read by the macro.
- at this moment (also default) there is DakotaRedGranite.inc

Possibly the present bata can do this. Not tested.

The coffee parameter is not yet available.

Absolutely.

Yes. I used the bunny...

That is definitely what one should do as far as my tests show.
