Great! I've been experimenting with these values in POV-ray, this really helps!

Critiques:

orthographic, para 1, "as it is the camera type used by LDraw most if not all
the other LDraw tools" is missing an "and" between LDraw & most. Maybe a comma
after most, too, but that's arguable...

aspect ratio, para 1, I thought widescreen was 16:9? I may be wrong.

Part IV, yes, we should definitely include!

Thanks again
