To visualize the effects of the two parameters of the superellipsoid I
rendered this gallery.
I hope you like it. :-)

Thanks! That's quite handy.

Thanks, I can make use of that. :-D

Nice.
Why is it such red ?
2 points:
* there is more past the 2.0 limit (looking at 3, 4 and 5 for instance,
probably not with 1/4 step). Maybe you can use some log/exp scale
instead of a linear one. (1.0 is a must have, 0.5 also, as well as 2.0,
other values might be something along k = 1+log/b (x) ; your choice of
base b.) Central point might remains around 1.0;
* might have some issues of self-shading or computation of intersection
with bounding box or similar for n=0 & e >= 1 (notice the bottom of the
objects on last line)

It looks not so bad on my office LCD. At home it looks more violet and
veries a lot when changing the viewing angle to the screen. Very bad.
You can give me a better rgb value or I try to render with Pov3.7 that
calculates colors differently (physically more correct?), and – even
more important – uses all 4 CPU cores in parallel! :-D

I'll try tomorrow.

All superellipsoids are completely inside of a bounding box of
<-1,-1,-1>,<+1,+1,+1>. So I didn't get what you want.

IIRC, a value of 0 is not really recommended in the superellipsoid
documentation: it likes better something like 0.01
(so your range could be 0.01 , , 0.1, , 1, , 10, , 100
and intermediates values might be either (sqrt(10))^k (k from -4 to +4)

You're right, I noticed that fact already and I add 0.0049 to the 'e'
and 'n' (the largest value so rounding to 2 decimals doesn't show the
difference :-)).
Negative values for e and n are also possible? Oh, I'll try that. :-)

Changelog:
* extend the range from [0…2] to [0…4] with a non-linear scale.
* change the color to blue
* using Povray 3.7 -> artifacts at n≈0 disappear. :-)
But some superellipsoids look strange, i.e. e=2.5,n=0.5. Bug or intention?

Negative e gives interesting objects, but negative n gives just dust.
Is there something like a bounded_by option because the objects seem to
extend the box <-1,-1,1-><+1,+1+1>...

This set of reference images would be useful in the POV-Ray manual.
Bye for now
