Hi,

'povray -H10 -W20 myscene.pov' will generate a file with a picture 10 
pixels high and 20 pixels wide, BUT in the message pane it displays
   Image resolution.....20 by 10 (rows 1 to 20, columns 1 to 10)

instead of
   Image resolution.....20 by 10 (rows 1 to 10, columns 1 to 20)
or
   Image resolution.....20 by 10 (columns 1 to 20, rows 1 to 10)

This is very confusing, since most people count rows vertically and 
columns horizontally ;-).

Thanks hexcoder
(this is under OpenSuSE 11.1 linux amd64, but probably irrelevant)
