Problem

We currently don't have documentation that I can find which shows how to interact with the figure GUI. The buttons have tooltips, but if a user is not familiar with that mode of getting information then they might be at a loss of what to do.

Suggested improvement

It would be nice to include at least an annotated image of the GUI calling out what the different buttons do. We can also use this opportunity to document the hover coordinates. Note that we should cover both 2D and 3D plots, as the rotate/pan/zoom behavior is slightly different between them.

It would be even better if we had a short video / animated gif showing someone interacting with the plot using the GUI buttons.
