There are aeronautical terms for the other two, pitch and yaw, and I can't
remember which is which, so I'm using pitch and roll, even though for a
brick there are no clear front back or sides.
I just had to pick some names for menu commands. For the verbally challenged
there will be mouse tools for the job anyway...
