    Re: Aspect ratio (via L3P) —Don Heyse
   (...) Roland, perhaps you should exchange an email or two with Lars. I think he's working on some other command line enhancements for the next version of l3p that might also interest you. Don (22 years ago, 25-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

     (...) Lars, Thanks for your good work, and I have just a few requests, in order if decreasing importance: - option to include a file at end and/or begin of .pov file (e.g. for megapov's edge-detection feature, etc.) - placing camera block, (...)

         Re: Aspect ratio (via L3P) —Jeremy H. Sproat
     (...) Awesome. (...) These are the only variables I can think of. I think it might also be useful to expose the formulas for determining the camera and light positions via macros, but I can't think of any real-world needs at the moment. (...) Well, (...)

        Re: Aspect ratio (via L3P) —Andrew Westrate
     (...) Since you mention it... Can you make l3p follow the references to light.dat in subfiles?

         Re: Aspect ratio (via L3P) —Lars C. Hassing
     Andrew Westrate wrote... (...) Nice looking camera. And good idea with a cameraman. Your camera has a lens angle of 44 degrees and an aspect ratio of 3/2.

        Re: Aspect ratio (via L3P) —Roland Melkert
   Well, Multiple lights would be cool :) But I think this would be just as easy adding yourself via a include file (in that case turning off the default light would be nice too).
