Cone Class
A cone with axis along the z axis of a (possibly skewed) local coordinate system.
- In local coordinates, the sections at z=0 and z=1 are circles of radius r0 and r1.
- Either one individually may be zero, but they may not both be zero.
- The stored matrix has unit vectors in the xy columns, and full-length z column.
