POV-Ray Geometric Shapes

// -----------------------------------------
object{
   Spheroid( //CenterVector,
             <-1.50,3.00,-2.00>,
             // RadiusVector Rx,Ry,Rz )
             <2.0,1.2,2.5> )
   texture{ pigment{color rgbt<.75,.2,0,.7>}
            finish { phong 1}
          } // end of texture
   scale<1,1,1>
   rotate<0,0,0>
   translate<0,0.0,0>
} //----------------------------------------

Notes:
Historical object: The first versions of POV-Ray didnt't allow unevenly scaled spheres.
Today you can scale a sphere in all directions independently an move it to any location:

// -----------------------------------------
sphere{ <0,0,0> 1
        scale<2.0,1.2,2.5>
        translate<-1.50,3.00,-2.00>,
        texture{ pigment{color rgbt<.75,.2,0,.7>}
                 finish { phong 1}
               } // end of texture
} //----------------------------------------
