The Householder formula is a robust and efficient way to compute tangent and bitangent vectors given a surface normal. The computed vector fields are both locally and globally coherent. The accompanying demo illustrates the tangent vector fields of several quadratic surfaces : Ellipsoid, Elliptic Paraboloid, Hyperbolic Paraboloid, Hyperboloid of 1 sheet, Hyperboloid of 2 sheets, Elliptic Cone, Elliptical Cylinder, Hyperbolic Cylinder, and Parabolic Cylinder.
Each tangent and bitangent vector fields are calculated with the Householder formula.
