Yes, but are the 'colours' used /inside/ the density statements not read
as grey tints? That is what I have understood (which doesn't mean
anything of course). ;-)

I looked that up and was put back right on my feet again. I must have an
alternate universe documentation file in my head... :-)

That's what I thought. That it averaged the colour values.
Where about in the documentation. Do you have a reference?

It is neither a grey value, nor a plain average.
I suspect your misconceptions may have their roots somewhere in the fact
that there are two knobs available to introduce colour to media: The
`emission`, `scattering` or `absorption` statement, respectively, and
the `density` statement.

I'm thinking of the value that the `density` statement passes to the
media statement. Which it gets from the df3 file.

In the media section [3.4.8.4.2 Density with color_map]. In the wiki
that probably is at a different paragraph number.
Like you, was under the impression that colour values were averaged and
I don't remember where I got that notion from :-(

Is it possible your thinking of the hf_gray_16 output file, of which the docs
say:
height = 0.3 * red + 0.59 * green + 0.11 * blue
I took a look at the documentation regarding df3 and didn't see anything
relating to this same formula, except I'm going to guess it might be used when a
df3 is put into a normal {} statement.
I sure can't say what's what about this, just thought I would mention what it
made me think of and that was the height field formula above.

But it says:
The pattern function returns a value from 0.0 to 1.0 and the value is
passed to the color map to compute what color or blend of colors is used.
When I said "averaged" I meant it in the non technical sense.
So that is what I was thinking about. That value is not a vector.
When I made colour df3's I made them using R, G & Blue filters. Then
combined them in three media statements. It was clean and simple.

It could very well be. It looks as if some thought has gone into the
formula. :)

Pause for thought. I've never considered using one in a normal
statement. I've only used them with media.

One of those things we thing we know and when you look closely. You find
you don't. :)

Just the plain colour.

Uh... no, `density` does /not/ get its value from "the df3 file". It
gets its value (which is actually a colour) from a `density_map` and
pattern.
That pattern /can/ be a df3 file, using the `density_file` pattern, but
it is just one of many options.
