Is it possible rotate the camera view around the z-axis? #391

Description

@maxcrous

I have a point at the world center with coordinate (0,0,0), with x,y,z world box limits of [-10, 10].
I also have pre-establish initial camera view with azimuth=40, elevation=-150.
Is there a way to rotate the camera view around the z-axis to in order to "pan around" this point?

This question probably relates to this issue #273, although it does not hint at a solution for the current camera rotation model.
I also found the parameter fig.angley in the documentation, which is now obsolete according to this thread.
Perhaps that would have allowed for something like this:

while True:
    fig.anglez += 0.01 * np.pi * 2
    time.sleep(0.1)

Or perhaps there is a clever combination of azimuth and elevation increments I am not seeing?

Also, thank you for library, it has been immense joy using it to visualize a photogrammetry setup. It is a much needed library, as Matplotlib does not fully support z-buffering/occlusion, not to mention responsive interactivity.
