Question: Set plot zoom factor using command

Hi,

Can anyone please suggest a way to set the zoom factor for a 3D plot from the plot commands or using DocumentTools or in some other way that doesn't involve the interactive tools?

What I'm trying to achieve is the following:

I'm developing MapleCloud worksheets for a course I'm teaching and want to give my students several 3D plots to interact with through their web browser.  When I make the plots, Maple determines the scaling so that boxed axes with labels will fit in the area of the plot component.  However, I'm making plots with axes=none that look better at a higher zoom factor (the corners of the unseen boxed axes would be out of the plot area but all the plot components still fit) and I'm keen to create the plots that look like this if possible.

My ideal solution would be for there to be a zoomfactor option for the plots[display] command or to be able to use some code like SetProperty("Plot0",zoomfactor,1.25) but I haven't been able to find a way to achieve this.  The closest I found was setting the viewpoint option, but that locked the view, preventing rotation, and I want to just set the initial view.  Is there some other method I haven't found?

Thank you for your help,

Alex
