Imola - what information do you have for the ellipsoid? Have you considered using ellipsoid?

For surface representation, you can use meshgrid to generate the ellipsoid with parameterization :
a=5;
b=3;
c=1;
[u,v]=meshgrid(-pi/2:0.1:pi/2,linspace(-pi,pi,length(u)));
x=a*cos(u).*cos(v);
y=b*cos(u).*sin(v);
z=c*sin(u);
figure; surf(x,y,z);
title(' Ellipsoid');
