Abstract
Integrable billiards in ellipsoidal and related shapes are discussed. The emphasis is on the computation and graphic presentation of energy surfaces in the space of action variables. Explicit results, including figures, are given for spheres, circular cylinders, planar ellipses, prolate and oblate ellipsoids.
