context-sensitive, and change depending on the currently selected manipulation tool.

X, Y, Z represent translation distance in the current model unit, and cX, cY, cZ represent the
translation center point.

X, Y, Z represent degrees of rotation around that axis, and cX, cY, cZ represent the rotation center
