/**
* 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>>.
