Hi Vladimir!
It seemed to me there is *NO* such a function but you may use different
transformations to obtain the ellipsoids from spheres (accordingly to your
system you may use GLU or GLAUX functions to generate spheres). The
transformations is mostly
See SPHERE library docs on IRIX. On Win32s, there are auxSolidSphere,
auxWireSphere, gluSphere, and (for arbitrary matrix transformation)
glMultMatrix functions
