        'O': Set orthographic.
        'T': Activate Translations.
        'R': Activate Rotations.
        'a': Place axis reference at the center of the box.
        'A': Place axis reference at origin.
        'x': Rotate/Translate clockwise respect to the axis.
        'X': Rotate/Translate anti-clockwise respect to the axis.
        'y': Rotate/Translate clockwise respect to the axis.

****** MagChainPyViewer.py ******
  Description: 3D Visualization of 'trajectoryCG.xyz' generated by MagChain

  Compilation: Non-required.
  Requirements: VPython script to be executed by VIDLE for VPython (with VPython libraries). Documentation on VPython can be found at:
       http://vpython.org/contents/doc.html
  and it can be downloaded:
       Linux: http://vpython.org/contents/download_linux.html
       Windows: http://vpython.org/contents/download_windows.html
       Mac: http://vpython.org/contents/download_mac.html

 Usage:
	- Run "Representation.py" using IDLE in the same folder where the trajectory
	  generated by "MagChain" ("trajectoryCG.xyz") is.
	- To help the visualization of the trajectory:
	    · The perspective can be changed by moving the mouse while pressing the right button.
	    · The image can be zoomed in/out by moving the mouse forward/backward while pressing the left and right buttons simultaneously.
