Animating the Axis

Often when you're animating a rotation around an axis, you want to keep the center properties constant, and the Axis property constant, and animate the Angle property. However, you can also animate the Axis property using a Vector3DAnimation object while keeping everything else constant. The following program demonstrates this technique with a single square figure.
