Not to sound overly enthusiastic, but *Hallujaha*! This will make possible
my IRTC entry!  Speaking of which, have you skewered the fine edges filter
yet?? :-)

Thanks again, Chris.

I can't wait to see it... :-)

No, not yet, but thanks for reminding me. I will have to look at that 
and the patterned blur filter and see what I can do...I'm not entirely 
certain what the problem *is*.

Chris,

Regarding the glow command, is there any chance of making the location and
color/colour keywords optional?

That is:

glow {0.01 glow_type 1 location 0 colour rgb 1 turbulence 1}

becomes:

glow {0.01 glow_type 1 0 rgb 1 turbulence 1}

Would save my aching fingers a bit of typing.

Bye,
Alan.

A better syntax would be:
glow {POSITION, COLOR, AMOUNT
    type TYPE
    turbulence...
}
The example you gave would confuse POV constantly, and would require the 
type to always be specified.

And this wouldn't work very well with light source glows...currently, 
the location and color are optional if the glow is specified within a 
light source, they take on the values of the light source. With this 
syntax, the ones in front of the one being overridden will always have 
to be specified.
I could make it so you can't override the position or color of a light 
source glow, but I don't want to impose unnecessary limitations and 
inconsistencies like that without a good reason.
I could put the amount first...but that would break tradition with the 
rest of POV, which seems to always put scalars after floats. I am 
reluctant to make design decisions based on typing speed...in fact, I 
have considered making the amount specified by a separate keyword.

You can always use a macro if it is really that important to you...
#macro Glow(Pos, Col, Amt, Type)
    glow {
        location Pos
        color Col
        brightness Amt
        type Type
    }
#end


Glow(< 0, 0, 0>, White, 1, 0)
