Orbiting
~~~~~~~~

Orbit around a scene.

.. note::
   The quality of the movie will be better when using
   ``p.open_movie('orbit.mp4')`` instead of
   ``p.open_gif('orbit.gif')``

For orbiting to work you first have to show the scene and leave the plotter open
with ``.show(auto_close=False)``.  You may also have to set
``pv.Plotter(off_screen=True)``

.. note::
   Use ``lighting=False`` to reduce the size of the color space to avoid
   "jittery" GIFs when showing the scalar bar.
