Improve Control of Scatterplot 3D Rotation - Keep Charts 'Right Side Up' by Locking the Z Axis

[ih]

Most people who manipulate 3D scatterplots do not want to rotate about the Z axis, and they end up struggling to keep it 'right side up' after a few rotations.  Make the mouse movement work like the 'Move and Rotate' behavior in the animated gif below. 

     

Here is an add-in that provide the functionality in the animation above:

Proposed

Provide an option to lock the z axis, enable it by default.  When enabled, horizontal movement of the mouse rotates the chart about the y axis, no matter where the user initially clicked on the chart. Vertical movement rotates the chart about the x axis.

Very useful :thumbs_up:

Still in JMP 19 the default behavior to rotate a 3d plot feels hard to control.  I still think the functionality of the 'tilt and rotate' box in this add-in should be the default behavior.  Maybe I'm alone though, or maybe folks just don't use 3d plots very much, perhaps because they are hard to manage...
