I was wanting to work out the SOR segment equations, and found the existing
documentation to be a bit confusing / incomplete.

https://wiki.povray.org/content/Reference:Surface_of_Revolution

The notation is a bit confusing, and there's not enough information to lead me
through the jumps in operations so that I can connect what's going on.

I know there has been some recent effort to improve some of the documentation,
and I think this page would be a good candidate for revision.

If anyone has the knowledge or ability to work out how the curve for each
segment gets interpolated, then a better written explanation and/or SDL
calculating all the points along the entire SOR curve would be great.

Thanks,

- BE
