   Dashed lines represent the other viewport's cross section on the
   current plot. The center is represented with a square.
   When the other-viewport is outside the view window, the viewport-line
   will be displayed on the closest edge.

     - drag the center square (red square on the figure) to reposition
       the viewport
     - drag the line close to the center (green line) to reposition
       the viewport along the vertical axis-w of the viewport
     - drag the extremities (magenta on the figure) of the viewport-line
       to rotate the viewport
     - drag+shift the extremities (magenta on the figure) of the viewport
       to rotate by 5deg.
   Press ESCape during dragging to cancel the action
