Usability Improvements: Visualizer

[winder]

The top left cube looks like something from CAD software, but defies convention by being apparently non-interactive. Click face to aim camera directly at that plane, click and drag to move (which you don't need since your entire module has comparable functionality)

• [ ] Clickable corner-cube (with visual indicator of the highlighted face?).
• [x] Visualizer toolbar actions with preset view angles.
• [ ] Double click to reset view angle to default.
• [ ] Remove Jog To button from right-click menu (or move it to a sub menu).
• [x] Move right-click enable/disable options to a sub menu.
• [x] Add the visualizer preset view angle actions (from above) to the right-click menu.

I'd opt for a view cube like how Solid works does it or the cube may be enough as a datum instead. You only have to see the top, front, and left of a tool path see what it's doing.

I'd keep the jog to control as right click. I find it very handy and a sub menu makes it lose the convenience.

I would add a "get coord" command to see where a tool path physically will go (XYZ value)

Added submenu for hiding/showing features in the visualiser sub menu:

Added a submenu with view presets: Top, Left, Front and Reset (that will rotate to a isometric-like view):

Can you add those presets to the faces of the cube in the corner?

It's on the todo-list, I'm picking the low hanging fruits right now. =P

Note to self, I've been reading up on Ardor3D which could be a suitable scene graph library to use for implementing this other stuff: https://github.com/Renanse/Ardor3D
