Feature request: Zoom and pan by coordinates

[acsch]

I want to systematically search Laduma cubes. Since the FOV is too large to
search in one go, I need to zoom in and pan. For that I need to keep
control on which portion I see in the windows and where to pan to next. The
coordinate info and axis labels are, of course, a help, but it is much less
controllable to get them right.

So it would be nice to have the possibilities to submit coordinates and
zoom scale through a separate window so that the (centre) of the viewable
image jumps to that position. Since we work 3D here, a z-component for the
pan might be useful, too (to look at a specific source). For example, ds9
has such a feature.

In addition, I prefer to search slices that include the frequency axis (XZ
or ZY). I see there are already requests for that (#36 and, in an extended
way, #72)

Thanks @kswang1029. @veggiesaurus, you mentioned someone could include a tutorial for you showing @acsch how to do this with the current version with front-end scripting. Is that still an option?

It depends on when the next Laduma cube will be ready (DR1.1) and when such a feature would get implemented. Any idea on the time scale of the latter?
