Ok, it seems that I did not clearly define my problem. I have to simulate two
general situations; firstly where the camera is at a fixed roll angle, say 15
degrees for all positions along the orbit: rotate <0,15,(-178+clock*360)> ??


Secondly the more general case I need to adjust the roll angle between clock
ticks by a variable amount, e.g. a typical sequence of roll angles for 15 clock
ticks would be 0,1,3,5,7,5,3,1,0,1,3,5,7,5,3. Thus I would probably need to
provide a file or parameter list containing the roll angles that are (somehow?)
substituted into the .inc file at runtime. Alternatively I would need to avoid
the full orbit (rotate keyword) and write 15 discrete projections which simulate
the desired roll angles
