Description

Target Use case

Right now OrbitView is limited to one axis of full rotational freedom - from the docs:

OrbitView takes the same parameters as the View superclass constructor, plus the following:

    orbitAxis (String, optional) - Axis with 360 degrees rotating freedom, either 'Y' or 'Z', default to 'Z'.

It would be great to allow full rotation on each axis, if desired

Proposed feature

Implement the ability to have full rotational freedom on every axis in OrbitView - alternatively, we could make a new view.
