// A parametric surface is a surface defined by a parametric equation, involving
// two parameters (u, v):
//
// S(u, v) = (x(u, v), y(u, v), z(u, v)).
// For example, "limpet torus" surface can be defined as:
//    x = cos(u) / (sqrt(2) + sin(v))
//    y = sin(u) / (sqrt(2) + sin(v))
//    z = 1 / (sqrt(2) + cos(v)),
// where -pi <= u <= pi, -pi <= v <= pi.
//
//
// TGLParametricEquation * eq =
//    new TGLParametricEquation("Limpet_torus", "cos(u) / (sqrt(2.) + sin(v))",
//                              "sin(u) / (sqrt(2.) + sin(v))",
//                              "1 / (sqrt(2) + cos(v))");
//
// $ROOTSYS/tutorials/gl/glparametric.C contains more examples.
//
// Parametric equations can be specified:
//    1. by string expressions, as with TF2, but with 'u' instead of 'x' and
//       'v' instead of 'y'.
//    2. by function - see ParametricEquation_t declaration.
