Just plot both on the same graph.  The cylinder3d function produces an 
object which will be rendered as a cylinder (you need to call shade3d to 
render it).  There's no function for cones, but a cylinder with a very 
small radius at one end would be close.  You can't set the radius to 
zero currently:  it puts a bunch of points at the same position and gets 
confused.  Should probably fix that.
