/** \class TGeoParaboloid
\ingroup Geometry_classes
 
Paraboloid  class.
 
A paraboloid is the solid bounded by the following surfaces:
  - 2 planes parallel with XY cutting the Z axis at Z=-dz and Z=+dz
  - the surface of revolution of a parabola described by:
    `z = a*(x*x + y*y) + b`
 
The parameters a and b are automatically computed from:
  - rlo - the radius of the circle of intersection between the
    parabolic surface and the plane z = -dz
  - rhi - the radius of the circle of intersection between the
    parabolic surface and the plane z = +dz
 
          | -dz = a*rlo*rlo + b
          |  dz = a*rhi*rhi + b      where: rlo != rhi, both >= 0
