Description

It would be nice to have a ZoomToFit path change, that could binary search to fit some provided boundingbox. This would require that we implement viewing frustum calculations in this package though, which we may or may not want.

ZoomToFit(time, path, boundingbox) = ZoomToFit(time, last_state(path), boundingbox)

where we could pick up the current camera position from the path, and get the boundingbox either via user input or from Makie.boundingbox(plot). It would have to be a 3D rect so maybe we allow ((xmin, ymin, zmin), (xmax, ymax, zmax)) to be the canonical accepted form.

Research direction

Review the existing ZoomToFit and last_state(path) entry points, then investigate how Makie.boundingbox(plot) and 3D viewing-frustum calculations could support the proposed behavior. Done requires an agreed bounding-box representation and a defined ZoomToFit path method that binary-searches to fit it.
