I always use functions, till the pigment composite.

Yes, I'm dealing with it.

It has done, notice the program manipulate video 0:12 ~ 0:29, it control the
radial growth speed vs year.
Than program output the year_vs_r function using select(r - r0, , ...),
than composite them to time_function(x, y, z) with angular distortion.

This is a good idea, I think I should add it.

Not uniform ring thickness I wonder how to implement. Basically, if it can
implement in POV-Ray, than it can do in principle. My Java program can output
some data and it can be numerous like the attachment.
