parametric surface
parametric surface A surface defined as a function of two parameters. For example, the successive positions and shapes of a deformable curve r=r(u) moving in 3-space generate a surface where each point is characterized by the time v at which the moving curve passes through it and the value of the parameter u, which characterizes the point on the moving curve.
