Scene is mirrored

[phbernard]

First, thank you for this great tool!

I notice something wrong with the output picture: it is mirrored. In particular, it contains text. In the original STL file, the text is correct, reading from left to right. In the picture generated with povray, it is inverted, reading from right to left, "mirrored".

The STL looks good. When uploaded to a printing service of some kind (eg. Shareways), the text is left-to-right.

Then I do:

stl2pov mymodel.stl > mypov.pov

Because the default camera and light source are not located as needed, I manually edit the light_source and camera sections at the end of the POV file. I only change the values, I don't think that can cause the issue.

Then:

povray mypov.pov

... which generates mypov.png. In this picture, the text reads from right-to-left.

The problem was apparently spotted a few years ago: http://www.societyofrobots.com/robotforum/index.php?topic=11106.0 . But the outcome is unsure.
