Scale and Rotation to Derived Objects about vesseljs HOT 5 CLOSED

I used some code from my thesis to create a simple ship scaling app, maybe it is useful for this task.

Maybe in the future this app can be expanded with multiple options to edit ship specifications using GUIs instead of forcing the user to edit JSONs directly.

Thinking about this, rotation belongs with position, which is currently specified in the shipstate, with an option to specify a default for a derivedObject in the derivedObject's referenceState.

Scale, on the other hand, can invariably be considered constant for a given derivedObject, so could be stored on the derivedObject directly. Scale will impact calculations of CG etc., so it can't meaningfully be added without thoughtful consideration. (In fact, that also applies to rotation.)

I must admit that this all seems like a mess, though.

#87 outlined a way to introduce scale and rotation for derived objects, at the same time moving position into a property. I am not convinced it is the right way, or a prioritized task.

Ok, we close for now. If necessary, we open.

As with the object picking, I include here the relevant source files for introducing this.

A version of the DBB CSV to JSON converter that sets position within an object:

A version of DerivedObject.js that tries to handle position, scale, rotation:
