POV-Ray 3.5 Insert Menu

The insert menu, also known as templates in the Mac version of POV-Ray is a collection of code snippets covering most areas of the POV-Ray Scene description language that should make it easier for beginners to learn the basics of POV-Ray coding.

These pages provide the content of this menu in forms different from those in the official Windows and Mac GUIs.

I have made two different HTML versions

• One large file with png images (caution, very large file!)
• Divided into separate files for each entry, using frames and javascript
• Both versions zipped with images for offline use (3100kB)

I also made an add-on for the EMACS pov-mode That provides the content via menu like in the windows version (but without the images). The content is hard coded in an emacs lisp file right now - not very user friendly for changes. For installation instructions see the comment in the file.

• pov-im.el.gz - insert menu add-on for EMACS pov-mode (28kB)

And finally you can also download larger versions of the images for WinPOV:

• im_bmp_medium.zip - same size as when rendered with Options->Other Settings->Re-Render Insert Menu Bitmaps (2749kB).
• im_bmp_large.zip - larger version (4885kB).

For installation just copy the file into the insert menu directory of POV-Ray and unzip.
