[FR]: Orthogonal rendering

[JernejL]

A orthogonal rendering would be very welcome, as it would enable better perspective at the bed, allowing to see labels that are obscured due to perspecive vanishing point.

An toggle option for this would be welcome.

[jneilliii]

I don't understand what you mean.

it is a rendering view with no perspective, it would allow for axis labels to be shown regardless of "depth"

[jneilliii]

See if this works. Load the tab to show the graph and then open your browser's developer tools and copy/paste the commands below into the console tab and hit enter.

temp1 = $('#bedlevelvisualizergraph')[0].layout;
temp1.scene.camera['projection'] = {'type': 'orthographic'};
Plotly.relayout('bedlevelvisualizergraph', temp1);

Changed this

to this for me

I see what you mean about being able to see the grid labels, but personally not sure if I like the look. Would definitely consider making it an option.

[JernejL]

I love it, if that is availible as an option that would be awesome.
