Strange stackertransp.pov renders fine on my setup. Which is new and has 
no library paths set. Having said that povray.ini has none setbut the 
message pane says that it does.
I cannot see where the Windows/fonts and PovRay\ver 3.7\include
paths are defined.

Those two paths are default paths. They are defined during the install 
or automaticaly generated the first POV-Ray is executed if they are not 
previously defined. The font folder path is taken from the system path.

The image_height and image_width are global variables available at least 
since version 3.6.0.

Thanks, I thought it must be something like that. Too lazy to search the 
registry, me.
It begs the question, why Kurtz le pirate got an "undeclared identifier" 
error.

I couldn't find that in the docs. :-(

I solemnly promise to kick the next angle, I see.

Well, if you run stackertransp.pov right out of the box you just read 
the stacks.inc file already provided.

If you make WriteFile = true;  then you will invoke makestacks.inc were 
the missing declare should be. Alternatively, you also can declare 
AspectRatio /before/ including makestacks.inc

Thanks Thomas,

To be honest, it was more idle curiosity. I didn't even read the file. 
Just searched for AspectRatio

Idle curiosity makes it sit back and look contemptuous. ;-)

Which the neighbours' cat was just doing the other day, watching me mow 
the grass (and not doing a very good job - too long).

So what you say is that you might just as well have let the cat meow it...?

If you can get a cat to do that.
Your fortune is made, young man. ;-)
