The text are only place holders; the buttons are intended to be icons for
Top, Bottom, Left, Right, Front, Back, Isometric view, and Update.  The
Update
button was intended to recalculate the view given the Offset/Rotation/Scale
parameters but I'm still thinking about what to present in that particular
GUI;
a few people have reported that my file selector is inconvenient on their
computer
because it takes up a large part of the screen, so I'm thinking of ways to
trim
things without sacrificing the preview.
