3560	figure 8 camera motion	Tristan Croll	Tom Goddard	"{{{
The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        Linux-3.10.0-1127.13.1.el7.x86_64-x86_64-with-centos-7.8.2003-Core
ChimeraX Version: 1.0 (2020-06-04 23:15:07 UTC)
Description
Would be good to have a command (""rock"", perhaps) that sets the camera following a smallish figure-8 in space while always pointing at a fixed center of rotation. It's implemented in PyMol as ""nutate"" and VMD as ""Rock and Roll (XY Lemniscate)"". Something I really liked using back in my VMD days - it's really useful for creating short looping videos that give a good idea of 3D depth while remaining focused on whatever it is you want to show.
