Description

Currently 3d labels can only be placed on atoms, bonds, pseudobonds and residues. It would be useful to be able to add a 3d label to a model particularly when using tiled display of models.

Done.

The 3d label command now can label models, for example

label #1,​2 models

The default label height for models is 10 Angstroms, and the default can be set for the current session with

label defaultModelHeight 15

and can be set or saved in the Preferences / Labels / 3D model label height.

A model label is by default offset downward by the radius of the model bounding box and left by 1/4 of the radius (to try to make it a bit better centered).

Non-atomic models can have label models. The model label is always a child model of the model named "label". If no atomic models are specified and non-atomic models such as volumes are specified then the label type defaults to model labels. For example if #1,​2 are volumes then

label #1,​2

creates model labels.
