Movable Preview 
Essentially, it creates a movable on a 1x1 map and gives you access to the it for modification.
This parent type is for use for mainly objects. For humans, see /datum/movable_preview/character
Use winset() to position the control within the window.
See the default code for an example - places it at 0,0 and makes it 128x128 pixels.
