My guess is that there are some hard-coded values in the web-portal HTML/CSS
code (or whatever is used here), so that the preview does not extend outside of
a certain prescribed 'box-like' area.

I wonder if there is a similar kind of truncation of tall/skinny image posts?

And so there is indeed.

I guess this is because the image is posted in a newsgroup where they 
are normally "not allowed" ?

Nope; I took a look at one of my older oddly-shaped image posts in
binaries:images, and its preview is truncated there as well.

IIRC, I've also 'seen' previews there that had no visible preview at all; my
guess at the time was that the image was too hi-rez for the preview to deal
with, in some way. (?)

Weird. I would say this is *not* a correct behaviour, especially in 
p.b.i. We should expect a complete reproduction of the render, whatever 
its format, as this is an essential choice of the author.

Any ideas from those in charge? :-)

Those are really useful gradients. I used the Inferno one in a recent project
and learned a little about the way they were developed - it's fascinating. It
took me a while to find the data so your post is an excellent idea!

Kind regards,

It occurred to me that there might be two different meanings of 'preview' here:
One is the little thumbnail-sized image that we see when we scroll through the
messages in the web-portal. That's the one that can be truncated. The other is
when we click on that thumbnail-- which brings up the full non-truncated image
in its own window.

Just to clarify ;-)

AHA! I almost choked on my morning frog pill!

I certainly mixed up the two 'meanings' of preview. I naively thought 
that the thumbnail /always/ reproduced the full image; clearly not. No 
matter. I can live with that. Just learned something new today. :-)

Thanks Kenneth!

Thank you Dave!

While experimenting with Python's matplotlib and some medical CT-scanned images,
I learned about the qualities of different color maps. Interesting stuff.

Now I hope that other POV-Ray people will find them useful.

Oh yes! One way or another they will find their way... if not only as 
eye candy. :-)

Thanks for your efforts!
