Right now, it's pretty fiddly to position the zoom box correctly mostly because the 3D view can be aligned arbitrarily. Mentally mapping the 2D views gets difficult but could be made a bit simpler by adding guidelines to both the 2D and 3D views similar to how Blender visualizes object translations. See this sketch how it could look like:

Bonus points for restricting the translation to one axis by keeping a key pressed.

It used to be possible with the middle or right mouse button.

The same as with WAVE we should not keep dependencies in the repository.

Should be similar to when a user slices through the volume.

… and avoid passing so many GET parameters.

See TODO in views.py.

My workflow is centering the interesting part, zooming a bit. Now, when the size changes from the top-left corner, I have to re-center all the time.

Tested with Firefox and probably related to #3.

Going down from the default size will mess up the layout.

The y-z zoom plane is a bit misleading. Selecting the upper part zooms in the lower and vice versa but should in fact match.

I suppose seeing a volume rendered differently could be useful. At the end it's also stupidly simple just calling vrc.showISO(); and vrc.showVolren(). From the UI perspective, I would assume a toggle switch would be nice.

At the moment the spinner is removed as soon as the /maps request is finished but on a low-bandwidth line it still takes a while to download the multi-megabyte slicemaps.
