Hi Kevin, (...) Indeed, I found this file in an old LPub install folder, but it doesn't seem to be included with 2.3.0.7 version... Philo (19 years ago, 26-May-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) While we're on the topic of the help file, I'd like to point out that "CSI" (without the quotes) doesn't show up in the help file anywhere. And I, for one, don't have any idea what CSI means. --Travis (19 years ago, 27-May-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Is this an lpub issue, or something that should perhaps be added on the ldglite command line? How is this done with the l3p/pov renderer? Does lpub manipulate the intermediate files or the rendering programs? Just curious, Don (19 years ago, 27-May-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Don, LPub modified the POV file creted by L3P to support previous part color scaling. Some amount of this could be done at the DAT stage, not the POV stage, but the color spectrum would be greatly quantized. Kevin (19 years ago, 27-May-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I'm not so sure about that quantizing bit. It may not be the best way, but I think the current beta version of ldglite could be controlled by lpub inserting a block of 0 COLOR macros at the beginning of each temp DAT file to dim the colors, (...) (19 years ago, 27-May-05, to lugnet.cad)
