General Quadric Surface

Illustration of Quadric Surfaces The user can adjust all parameters of the second order surface equation with sliders. ax2 is the coefficient to the x^2 term axy is the coefficient to the x y term ax is the coefficient to the x term a0 is the constant on the right side. Check boxes allow viewing planar intersections with the surface and the equations in the intersection plane
