That was a great post. Thanks
What did you use to make the rotating plots?

  I used python/matplotlib. The basic idea is to create a 3d plot like so:
```
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
```
  Then you can add dots with something like this:
```
ax.scatter(X,Y,Z,alpha=.5,s=20,color='navy',marker='o',linewidth=0)
```
  Then you save it to a movie with something like this:
```
def update(i, fig, ax):
    ax.view_init(elev=20., azim=i)
    return fig, ax

frames = np.arange(0, 360, 1)
anim = FuncAnimation(fig, update, frames=frames, repeat=True, fargs=(fig, ax))
writer = 'ffmpeg'
anim.save(fname, dpi=80, writer=writer, fps=30)
```
  I’m sure this won’t actually run, but it gives you the basic idea. (The full code is a complete nightmare.)
