The point is a horizontal plane through the center; the line is a
diagonal plane through the center tangential to one edge; the X is
the vertical cross-section. The "higher" states or planes intersect
the cone off-center, above and/or below the center-point: Circle as
eccentric horizontal plane, ellipse as an eccentric horizontal
tilted slightly into diagonal, parabola as an eccentric diagonal
parallel to an edge, and the hyperbola as an eccentric vertical :-)

Google on conic sections ("images") :-)
