Cmap in Lab Space

Animation control:

Visualization	Frame Value
Line geometry	constant
Line position	rotation transform per frame
Line color	constant
Shading and highlighting	constant (none)
Axis coordinate	constant

Based on the static plots from the Matplotlib Colormaps and Color Space examples.

To minimize execution time, the colormap line object was constructed once, then copied for each frame construction. Rotating the copied line results in ‘stationary viewer’ perception.
