x(u,v) = v cos(u)
y(u,v) = v sin(u)
z(u,v) = a v
where:
- u ranges from 0 to 6ð, scanning three full circles on the XY-plane (this makes the interior appear smooth; if u is from 0 to 2ð, then Mathematica draws lines in the interior).
- v ranges from 0 to 2, scanning the cone's surface from its tip at the origin to its rim.
- a is a constant having the value 1.82 in this plot; higher values of a make the cone sharper.
