Description

Many, many beginning users thinks their code is not working just because of the viewer initial point of view.

The last topics about this "bug": http://www.pcl-users.org/ http://www.pcl-users.org/

I think this concerns both the PCLVisualizer (when displaying axis) and the CloudViewer.
