Quality-of-life improvements #49

Description

@klarh

Ideas from discussion with @bdice:

Automatically zoom (more appropriately, set size and pixel_scale) to fit the primitives contained in a scene

Solutions:

  • Add an auto_zoom() method to Scene
  • Add machinery to zoom property setters to auto-zoom when setting prim.zoom = 'auto'

Add a way to access commonly-used orientations (isometric/viewing each face/slightly-off-each-face)

Solutions:

  • Add a plato.rotations module that contains these by name
  • Add machinery to rotation property setters to convert string descriptions into appropriate quaternions

Easier way to access child primitives via Scene objects

Solutions:

  • Add __getitem__ to scenes that searches through the set of contained primitives for the given key (something like 'spheres'/'convex_polyhedra' -> the first primitive of the given type, 'spheres_2' for the second spheres object in the scene, and so on? Also allow querying by draw class/type?)
