I'm drawing a 3D graph, with the axis running from the bottom left of the screen. For simplicity we can just assume we're drawing a wire frame cube. What I'd like to be able to achieve is to look at the cube with my eye level with the x-axis (bottom of the cube). Essentially it would make the cube initially appear more 2D-ish.
The purpose of this, in the context of the 3D graph application, is to start out with a view that appears 2D -- just showing the user 2 axis, but to enable the user to rotate around the X-axis to bring the Z axis into view. So, if I have a ColorCube of size 0.5, I can get this effect by setting the initial viewing platform transform to be (0, -0.5, 2.4). The way I think of this is that my eye is now in line with the bottom of the cube (graph x axis). However, by doing this, I'm left with a lot of blank space below the bottom of the cube. Is there some way I can preserve the eye-level-with-x-axis look but move the cube (graph) down the screen?
