The following example shows how to use VTK (Visualization ToolKit) and Tcl/Tk to display 
parametric surfaces.
======
 vtkParametricTorus vtkParametricEllipsoid vtkParametricSuperEllipsoid 
 vtkParametricSuperToroid vtkParametricConicSpiral vtkParametricDini
 vtkParametricBoy vtkParametricCrossCap vtkParametricRoman
 vtkParametricMobius vtkParametricFigure8Klein vtkParametricKlein
 vtkParametricEnneper vtkParametricRandomHills
======
You can test it easily on Windows without compiling VTK libraries thanks to VTKit 
(a tclkit extended with VTK library based on VTK5.5 and Tcl/Tk 8.5.7).

You can dowload VTKit5.5 here [http://gersoo.free.fr/Download/prog/VTKit-tbc-5.5.0.1.exe]

 #              torus, ellipsoid, supertoroid, superellipsoid, Mobius strip, ....

 # load the VTK Tcl package and load the vtkinteraction package that contains 
 # default bindings for handling mouse and keyboard events for a render widget
 # Default keyboard events are :
 #  e / q / ESC : exit
 #  s : surface rendering
 #  w : wireframe rendering
 #  r : reset camera
