I see that the default mode for 3d plots is now pan, which undoes an
old change of mine to make rotation the default. Was this intentional?
I also see you created a GUI mode option whose utility I don't see
immediately. Shouldn't it be the data's job to know if it's 2d or 3d,
not the user's? I created a C++ implementation of__calc_dimensions__
for this purpose. I envisioned that whenever new data were plotted,
__calc_dimensions__ could be called to recompute the dimension and
automatically change the GUI mode accordingly. Was there a problem
with this plan?
