Dear POV'ers,
I am raytracing my object by rotating light_source(point) around
X-axis, Y-axis, or Z-axis based on
Chris Colefax's animation utility.
I'd like to identify each output(PNG) by writing the angle values
somewhere in the corner.
For example, ang. 35(X), or ang. 72(Y), and so on.
I do not know how I could get the value of the variable during the
animation for each output, and pass
the value to the font.
Any help would be appreciated.
=== part of my animation === there are 8 or 13 frames for each axis.==
// light source rotation around Z-axis 0 to -180degree
light_source { <-86.6,0,-50.0> color rgb<1,1,1>*2.5
rotate
From(0.0,< 0,0,0>)
Using("",1,1,"")
To(1, < 0,0,-180>)
}

You're sort of in luck. With the help of some of the kind folks in
another povray newsgroup (actually, a LOT of mathemetics help) I have
some povray 3.1 code to place a line of copyright text on the bottom
right of your animation frame no matter where the camera is looking.
Simply put, you put your camera location in the vector cam_l and
look_at in cam_lat. The following will set your camera using those
variable AND, most importantly, compute the translate and rotate for a
text object that it will place just a widget in front of the camera
lense.
//example
#declare cam_l = <.6,5.4,16>;
#declare cam_lat = <15,1,24>;
#local CamZ = 2; //the amount of camera zoom you want
#local CamD = vnormalize(cam_lat,cam_l);
#local CamR = vnormalize(vcross(y,CamD));
#local CamU = vnormalize(vcross(CamD,CamR));

pigment { rgbt<1,.8,.8,.75> }

camera {

}

I hope it works for you and please excuse the long post.

I thought of the same thing then dismissed the idea because a person
would have to make a different image file for each frame of the animation
to stamp a different angle number for each frame. Seller's tool is
made to stamp a simple signature onto every image of an animation
using a post processing step.

Yes but that's pretty simple with a pre-frame shellout. Just call
another copy of POV and render the appropriate text :)

Hopefully this is what you had in mind, and can change it to work okay in the
way you need.
Please ignore my other reply since it was totally wrong.

Thanks, everyone.
Now I am learning step by step. Thank you for your help.
