3-D ellipsoid equations
+
Hello,
The parametric equations of an ellipsoid can be written in terms of spherical coordinates. The three spherical coordinates are converted to Cartesian coordinates by
X=a cos (α) sin(θ)
Y=b sin(α) sin(θ)
Z=c cos(θ)
for α and θ
The parameter α varies from 0 to 2 π and θ varies from 0 to π . Here ( X o , Y o ,Z o ) is the center of the ellipsoid, and θ is the angle
