Rotating 3D animations of elements #12

[Ambitious feature for future enhancement]

FFC has a script for creating 3D animations of the elements and their DOFS. It would be cool to add this to the table...

Both #11 and #12 will work well into a future where everything is generated SVG and tastefully animated when needed.

For simple geometries, it is actually fun to write out scalable graphics by hand, and such vector graphics look great on large screens and small, and are tiny in size when compared to the current PNGs. (Try resizing the browser window while viewing the following HTML page.)

This could be a fun exercise for anyone so inclined ;) to attempt to auto-generate.
