I thought "well, wouldn't it be a matter of just telling axis.py that 
"Rotated Top View" means -90 instead of +90?"

I looked through.  It looks like this is "z2", or "view_type.set(2)".  
It looks like view_type=2 means "use rotated top view".

Presumably that's just gonna mean to view the XY plane, fix the origin, 
set the rotation=+90, and if you click on "rotate view" button it'll 
leave those parameters as-is for a starting point but un-"sink" the 
"Rotated top view" button and sink the "rotate view" button.

But I don't see anywhere where it implements the z2/view_type=2 mode.  
Does the AXIS frontend not do this, it's in Linuxcnc itself??
