Just wondering if there is a comparatively easy way to draw surfaces/solids
of revolution (obtained by rotating the graph of sufficiently smooth

piece of code.
That depends. How much code do you consider "a piece of code"?
You will have to feed /some/ code to Octave to accomplish this, but
depending on the complexity and nature of the surface you want to
draw, you may get away with a one-liner or with something more
complicated.
