Thanks, you and Jens Kuska . Yes, I also did n't expect what appear as
dissimilars can be so clubbed together. Perhaps you can give one mega
example of what all features could still jump onto the 3D graphics
bandwagon.. :)

Shall try when I get a higher version.

Hue looks nice,like some mysteriously glowing laser tube or linear
rainbow.
