+# ellipsoid.maple -- compute equations for offset ellipsoid setup
+# $Header$
+
+#
+# ellipsoid has center (A,B,C), radius (a,b,c)
+# angular coordinate system has center (U,V,W)
+#
+# direction cosines wrt angular coordinate center are (alpha,beta,gamma)
+# but Maple predefines gamma = Euler's constant, so we use (xcos,ycos,zcos)
+# instead, i.e. a point has coordinates (U+xcos*r, V+ycos*r, W+zcos*r)
+#
+# then the equation of the ellipsoid is
+# (U+xcos*r - A)^2 (V+ycos*r - B)^2 (W+zcos*r - C)^2
+# ----------------- + ---------------- + ----------------- = 1
+# a^2 b^2 c^2
+#
+# to solve this, we introduce intermediate variables
+# AU = A - U
+# BV = B - V
+# CW = C - W
+#
+eqn := (xcos*r - AU)^2/a^2 + (ycos*r - BV)^2/b^2 + (zcos*r - CW)^2/c^2 = 1;
