{
   // A parametric surface is defined by three functions:
   // S(u, v) : {x(u, v), y(u, v), z(u, v)}.
   // To create parametric surface and draw it one has to:
   //  1. Create canvas, which support OpenGL drawing (two ways):
   //     a. Call gStyle->SetCanvasPreferGL(kTRUE)
   //     b. Or create canvas with name, wich contains "gl".
   //  2. create TGLParametricEquation object.
   //     TGLParametricEquation *eq = new TGLParametricEquation("name",
   //     "some FORMULA here - x(u, v)",
   //     "some FORMULA here - y(u, v)",
   //     "some FORMULA here - z(u, v)",
   //     uMin, uMax, vMin, vMax);
   //     where FORMULA is the same string (mathematical expression),
   //     as in TF2, but you should use 'u' (or 'U') instead of 'x'
   //     and 'v' (or 'V') instead of 'y'.
   //  3. Call equation->Draw();
   //     Parametric surfaces support 21 color "schemes", you can change
   //     the color:
   //     -place mouse cursor above surface (surface is selected in pad)
   //     -press 's' or 'S'.
