Advanced (EMAN2 through the ''e2.py'' Python prompt)

* Generate and display an EMAN2 test image

* Rotate, translate, scale or mirror an image

* Add and multiply images, add and multiply by constants

* Convert a real/imaginary image into an amplitude/phase image and vice versa

* Iterate through the pixels of an image

* Make a projection of a 3D model, project through the asymmetric unit

* Change log level in EMAN2
