   I like how the tree and boxes underneath were drawn in 3D space. Here are some quick steps to spin the scene around the tree trunk for example using camera tools:

   1. Run christmas
   2. From the figure menu bar select View -> Camera Toolbar
   3. Click the left most icon: Orbit Camera. The principal axis should be Z.
   4. Click and drag (left-right) to rotate the tree.
   5. To make it keep spinning hold down the mouse button, start moving the mouse and release the button while still moving.

   Enjoy!
