** '''Square Controls''': On the left are the Square Controls, consisting of 8 buttons and a textbox arranged in square formation. For Euler coordinates, these controls manipulate the x and z coordinates. For spherical coordinates, these controls manipulate the theta and phi coordinates. In both cases, the buttons will add to or subtract from the corresponding variable(s) by the amount in the textbox. Note that you can right click on the buttons for more options so that you can customize the orientation of the buttons. Specifically, this allows you to rotate the buttons any one of eight ways, as well as | ** '''Square Controls''': On the left are the Square Controls, consisting of 8 buttons and a textbox arranged in square formation.

** '''Line Controls''': One the right are the Line Controls, consisting of 2 buttons and a textbox arranged in a vertical line formation. For Euler coordinates, these controls manipulate the y coordinate. For spherical coordinates, these controls manipulate the radius coordinate.
