/**
 * A {@linkplain GriddedSurface gridded surface} given as a family of conic sections whose
 * {@linkplain #getControlPoints control points} vary linearly. A 5-point ellipse with all defining
 * positions identical is a point. Thus, a truncated elliptical cone can be given as a 2×5 set
 * of control points
 *
 * <<P1, P1, P1, P1, P1>, <P2, P3, P4, P5, P6>>.
 *
 * P1 is the apex of the cone. P2, P3, P4, P5, and P6 are any five distinct points around the
 * base ellipse of the cone. If the horizontal curves are circles as opposed to ellipses, then a
 * circular cone can be constructed using <<P1, P1, P1>, <P2, P3, P4>>.
