Abstract. A relation between Supporting function P derived from the normal line of hyper tangent plane and the coordinates of its contact point is clarified. Supporting functions as the definition of objects (Oval, Ovaloid, Hyper-Ovaloid etc.) are given, and coordinates of the contact point are obtained as parametric equations. Some examples and their CG are shown.
