Description
these bitmap modes are not very intuitive:
OF_BITMAP_SIMPLE, OF_BITMAPMODE_SCREEN OF_BITMAPMODE_VIEWPORT OF_BITMAPMODE_MODEL OF_BITMAPMODE_MODEL_BILLBOARD
wondering if we can use better naming or alternatively add some parameters w/ drawing that will make more sense then having different modes (ie, useScreenCoordinates = true / false allows you to switch between viewport and screen).

Research direction
Start by locating the declarations and uses of OF_BITMAP_SIMPLE, OF_BITMAPMODE_SCREEN, OF_BITMAPMODE_VIEWPORT, OF_BITMAPMODE_MODEL, and OF_BITMAPMODE_MODEL_BILLBOARD. Compare how each mode is used in drawing, then clarify whether the project should rename the modes or replace them with drawing parameters. Done means an agreed, consistently applied API direction.
