Deformation theory focuses on the examination of rigidity conditions of surfaces. In this paper we present our tools for the examination of torus-like surfaces with a polygonal meridian in the Euclidean 3-space E3. Based on Cohn-Vossen's method we check infinitesimal bendings of the generated surfaces. Starting from given nodes of a meridian we perform the analysis and display the obtained toroids and their deformed shapes. We use C++ and OpenGL to carry out all underlaying calculations and the 3D model visualization.
