% Get vertices for surfaces of revolution, ellipsoids and cylinders
 All surfaces, except for ellipsoids, are closed. Type GeomPatch for a demo.

                     d.endcap     Any value creates endcaps   

                     Ellipsoid: d.a, d.b, d.c, d.thetaUpper, d.n
                     d.a          X radius

                     The default value for n is 6.

   cData       (m,p) Indexes to the color map where the values range
                     from 1 to n
   cMap        (n,3) Color Map
