Macro View Rotation/cs

This GUI allows the view to be rotated with more precision than when using the mouse. Rotation is according to axes fixed with respect to the user and not the objects, though the aim is that the objects rotate about their approximate shared centre rather than the view centre.

The GUI defaults to the top right of the screen, this behaviour can be changed by editing

at the end of the function 'initUI'. The first two arguments (right-300, 0) provide the position for the top left corner of the window - my experience is that the behaviour was as intended on Ubuntu but Vista positioned the window too high and the 0 needed to be changed to ~30.

Three icons are referred to to symbolise the rotation directions. A zip file containing these icons can be found here, the images should be placed in the folder containing your macros. Please feel free to contribute better ones!
