Remarks

The local component coordinate system of the ellipsoid is centered at its geometric center. The principal axes of the ellipsoid coincide with the local x-, y- and z-axes. The semi-axis lengths are defined by radiusX, radiusY and radiusZ.

The radii in y- and z-direction are optional. If not specified, they default to radiusX. The optional diskAngle defines the opening angle of the ellipsoid segment. If not specified, it defaults to 2*pi, resulting in a full ellipsoid.
