Unofficial POV-Ray 3.5 Insert Menu Bonus Pack
What is Insert Menu Bonus Pack
Standard Insert Menu in POV-Ray 3.5
allows you to insert header sections, object definitions, etc. into
a file you are editing with the internal editor with only a few clicks
of your mouse. It gives access to all built-in tokens in SDL (scene
description language) in some cases with additional preview how they
looks rendered. If you haven't POV-Ray
3.5 installed then you can check what it contains at
Christoph's page.
Standard Insert Menu only lists some include files from standard distribution.
I found content of those files very useful but to much to remember. Also
I found some include files has no sample in sample scenes. I decided to
prepare Insert Menu Bonus Pack with all constants, functions, macros,
colors, pigments, textures, finishes and all other things declared in
standard include files.
Insert Menu Bonus Pack was designed for Windows version of
POV-Ray 3.5. Feel free to convert it
for other platforms. But inform me about it, please :-)
