How do I programmatically control the zoom of a 3d plot ?
SEE THE ATTACHED MAPLESHEET. In the attached code, the 'zoom out' on the blue cylinder is not conserved when I saved the maplesheet but it doesn't change the essential question which is how does one control the zoom programmatically. If you yourself adjust the zoom of the blue cylinder and the run tabulate(), you will see how it resets the plots settings to some default set of values.

Plot two cylinders with plottools and plot3d. Zoom out on the blue cylinder a little.

c1 := display(cylinder([1, 1, 1], 1, 3), orientation = [45, 70], scaling = constrained, color = red, size = [300, 300])

  

c2 := display(cylinder([1, 1, 1], 1, 3), orientation = [45, 70], scaling = constrained, color = blue, size = [300, 300])

  

Use tablate to embed the 3d plots in a visual array, for reasons not discussed here.

Notice how the use of tabulate( ), changes the zoom of the individual plots to some default. There are two questions: 1. How do I programmatically control the zoom of a 3d plot with display( )? I don't want to have to click buttons with the mouse to arrive at my ideal zoom level. 2. How do I programmatically control the zoom of a 3d plot when using Tabulate( ) which envokes the default plot settings?  

Below is a screenshot of the zoom buttons I want to control programmatically.
