hi all,
i wonder if i specify the same image map over and over again in the scene
description ....

e.g.
...
...
...
pigment { uv_mapping image_map {  "myfile.gif" interpolate 2 } }
...
...
...
pigment { uv_mapping image_map {  "myfile.gif" interpolate 2 } }
...
...
...
etc....

would it get loaded into memory several times or does povray detect this and
load the file only on first occurrence.

this is an important question for me since i generate the scene files
automatically from another program and i would have to change the approach
if the files were indeed loaded several times.

kind regards,
uwe
