How to run the scripts

The scripts can be run using the following command:
povray +A +P -geometry 250x180 myIntersect.pov
where the size of the final image is specified by "-geometry 250x180" and the script name is "myIntersect.pov".


For some of the scrips additional files (oneobject.gif and image.gif) should be placed in the same folder from which the script is run.
