    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!

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
