Thanks - that is exactly what I was looking for.

My next question is regarding the rendering of a MapToPlane

I'm using MapToPlane like this:


            Position   Normal
             Vector    Vector
               |         |
               +-----+   |
                     |   |
Import -----+----- MapToPlane ---- Color --- Image
            |                        |
            +----- Colormap ---------+


Can anyone suggest a method to get the rendering to follow the
MapToPlane normal so that the Image always shows the plane face
on?



Consider getting the From and To vector from Image's camera (Inquire), calculate the direction vector from them. You may have to generate another downstream picture (like a Display) that shows the final image but you drive it from Image.

P.S.  Is there a utility to create ascii text renderings of VPE
windows?  Something like what I've done above by hand?


No, but File menu: Print Visual Program... to a .ps file, or use a screen grab of the net.
