In commit b9ac0218 I have fixed the problem of the double speed of the rotation buttons. If you have set customizations for any of gui/rotfactor, gui/panfactor, gui/zoomfactor, you should now double their value to get the same effect.

The default values in pyformexrc have also been changed, though not to exactly the double. I have recalibrated them to some sensible for my liking, based on the examples Baumkuchen, Helix and HorseSlice.
The default rotfactor is now 7.5 degrees. This is somewhat slower than before, but I choose it because it allows to set the angle precisely at 30, 45 or 60 degree, which may be handy sometimes.

And I forgot: Settings->Settings_Dialog has a section Mouse where you can set this factor.

Your question is not fully clear to me.
It is currently set as program default in pyformexrc, under the
gui section:


[gui]
rotfactor = 5.


It can be customized in the same way by the user in his
~/.config/pyformex/pyformex.conf. There is a Settings->Edit_Preferences_File button that can help.

And finally, you can set in a script as explained in comment #1.

Can this be set also set as a default preference?

It can be set in your config file (see pyformexrc for format)
or in your script or the console as folllows:


pf.cfg['gui/rotfactor'] = 5.


Note that 5. is the default setting, but it turns out that the rotation buttons rotate at the double of the setting. We need to check why and fix this. And we probable should add different factors for different rotation axes.

How can I change the default rotation angle of the buttons to rotate the scene?
the default is 10 degrees, but I woudl like to customize it to a lower value.
