Axis runs the program in simulation to create the preview plot.

If the code contains an endless loop, then Axis takes an infinite time
to create the preview.

Press "Esc" will stop the preview, and will then allow you to run the
program. But, of course, the real program will then run for ever too.

Maybe after 10 seconds the GUIs should pop up a dialog "This seems to
be taking a long time, perhaps your code has an infinite loop? [STOP]
[CONTINUE]"
But I think this might need to be done on a per-gui basis.
