The orb object inherits IDLgrModel. So you can use its scale method to
turn the orbs from spheres to ellipsoids, as in

osph->scale,sx,sy,sz

With the 3 arguments being the scale factor in directions x,y,z, which
are initially 1.0.

Similarly, if you want to change their orientation, you can use the
rotate method.
