5.1.3 Superellipsoid
A shape between sphere and box is the superellipsoid.
The syntax of the superquadric ellipsoid object is:
SUPERELLIPSOID:
superellipsoid { < K1, K2 > [OBJECT_MODIFIERS] }
See also:
This object is given via two parameters K1 and K2 by
where the -norm of a 2d-vector
is given by
Hence we get a cube for and a sphere for .
