L3P Options?

Dear Lars (and anyone who can answer my questions)

I was wondering if there was a way to use L3P so that it does NOT include its
primitives in the final .pov file? The reason for this question is that I'd like
to be able to adjust some of the primitives/colours etc. in all my models and
the easiest way to do this would be to put all my options in a POVray include
file and just #include it in every model I make.

Adjusting the colours is not so hard as I just put the #include early in the
.pov file and the #ifndef commands ignore and previously defined colours but the
primitives require me to put the #include after they are defined (to override
the current values). It's not too much hassle but life would be easier if I
could just leave all that out and put an IFPOV metacommand and my files so that
LPUB could run automatically.

Thanks for any help,

Tim

(...) You'll be happy to know that the coming L3P (yes, I know I've said that too often) has #ifndef's around everything, e.g.: //// Primitive stud.dat #ifndef (stud_dot_dat) #macro stud_dot_dat(L3ArgTe...,L3ArgMat) L3MacroBegin("stud_dot_dat") #if (...)
