    Summary

    Description
    English: Plot of the unduloid constant mean curvature surface, generated by rotating an elliptic catenary around the x-axis.
    Español: Gráfico del unduloide. Esta superficie tiene curvature media constante y es generada a partir de rotar una catenaria elíptica alrededor del eje x.
    Türkçe: Sabit ortalama egri yuzeyli unduloid grafigi. Eliptik bir zincir egrisinin x ekseni etrafinda dondurulmesiyle elde edilmistir.

    The parameterization used was
    x=0ua2sin2α+b2cos2αdα+a2b2sinu(a2b2cosu+a)a2sin2u+b2cos2u
    y=b[a2b2cosu+aa2sin2u+b2cos2u]cosv
    z=b[a2b2cosu+aa2sin2u+b2cos2u]sinv

    where a and b are parameters. For the plot a=1.7 and b=1.2.
