Task 2: Cone triangle

A small program in C++ that compute coordinates of triangle nodes used to display a conical surface (see below):

The basis of this project is taken from Task_1_curve. They are very similar. The only difference is the DIM constant in the consts.h file, which allows the Curve and Point classes to become 3D and support 3D objects. Since the ellipse is well suited for our purposes, we need to modify it for the base of the cone. The program assumes that the base of the cone always lies in the plane (x1, x2), and the height is drawn perpendicular to the cone (x3). As a basis, we use the Curve (Ellipse) point_per_parameter (double parameter) class method to get the coordinates of the triangle on the circle.

Getting the coordinates is fairly easy to do. Point coordinates are always known (0, 0, height). The coordinates of the other two points are specified parametrically in the Ellipse class.
