New in version 3.8 a special pigment pattern user_defined has been added to define the pigment color directly in terms of a set of functions.
The syntax is a follows:
pigment {
user_defined {
function { RED_FUNCTION },
function { GREEN_FUNCTION },
function { BLUE_FUNCTION },
function { FILTER_FUNCTION },
function { TRANSMIT_FUNCTION }
}
}
Each function is optional, in which case the corresponding component is set to 0. For example, the following sets the color to rgbft <x,y,0,0,z>:
pigment {
user_defined {
function { x },
function { y },
,,
function { z }
}
}
The pattern is similar to image_map in that it directly specifies colors rather than using a color_map or pigment_map.
The user defined pattern functionality also extends to density blocks, of course using only the red, green and blue function values. See also: Density
