Well.. You will then either be faced with "squashed" text, or really tiny
text, for longer strings.

That's the same thing that happens with a height field in pov, but one you
get your squished object, you know exactly how it is squished, and can scale
it.

Nice idea, but it be just as awkward scaling it from a 1 cube to 'true'
proportions as it is to take the current text and squash it into a cube.
What would be useful would be a function to return the extremes of a
given object, allowing you to scale/translate it accurately according to
the actual dimensions of the object, rather than by trial and error.

I knew I had seen this posted somewhere; that's why I went and wrote
it. I just couldn't find it back when I needed it.
Ahem. For all those who agree with Mr. Beattie, your prayers are
answered. You can find just the patch you need over in
povray.binaries.utilities or on my web page at
http://www2.fwi.com/~parkerr/traces.html
A C compiler and POV sources are required. I'll make a Win32 compiled
version available if there's enough interest (in email, please.)

I've heard about DGPAS -Dave G's Particle Animation System-
by David Govoni.
Where can I find this utility?
