What would you use the slope for?
camera { location <x,y,z> look_at <x,y,z> }
light_source { <x,y,z>, color }
light_source { <x,y,z>, color spotlight point_at <x,y,z> }

| Thank you for replying. I would probably enter the slope/angle information into POVray code that resembles something more like this: camera { location <1.250000, 6.986278, 4.250000> direction <-0.28939780593, -0.00816663355, -0.95717394352> up (...) (25 years ago, 4-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad)

| Lars, if you could implement a feature in L3p that carries a vector over to POVray, that would be great. Here's an example. Let's say camera.dat or light.dat were made up of two parts - a base point and an arrow. The base point would be the origin, (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad)
