I've now made a GitHub repository with color maps for POV-Ray v3.7 from the
Plasma, Inferno, Magma and Viridis color maps in Python's Matplotlib.

The repository is here:
https://github.com/t-o-k/POV-Ray-color-maps

The attached image shows the colors in the Inferno color map.

I wonder why the web preview of the attached image only shows the center of the
image...

Whenever the aspect ratio is wider than 2:1, the Web preview truncates
the ends.

Aha! So *that's* the limiting ratio. I have been wondering about that
preview-size oddity for a long time, when posting my own oddly-sized images.
Thanks.

Is there a reason for this behaviour?

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? :-)
