Notes:

Parametric form of the general plane is assumed if four values are provided in the surface card. With six values the plane is assumed to be defined by three points.

Surface name	Parameters	Surface equation	Description
`py`	x₀	$S(x) = x - x_0$	Plane perpendicular to x-axis at x = x₀
`pz`	y₀	$S(y) = y - y_0$	Plane perpendicular to y-axis at y = y₀
`px`	z₀	$S(z) = z - z_0$	Plane perpendicular to z-axis at z = z₀
`plane`	A, B, C, D	$S(x,y,z) = Ax+ By + Cz - D$	General plane in parametric form
`plane`	x₁, y₁, y₁, x₂, y₂, y₂, x₃, y₃, y₃		General plane defined by three points
