how a reference frame is laid out on screen: one rotation taking the screen axes to the reference axes, east = rot * x, north = rot * y, outOfScreen = rot * z

Syntax

pC = plottingConvention(outOfScreen, east)

pC = plottingConvention('y↑→x')

Each axis next to the screen direction it points to.

pC = plottingConvention.ij

X east, y south, z into the screen.

Members

char ‘y↑→x’ when both screen axes are reference axes, the three names run together otherwise
default3D a tilted view for three dimensional plots
default the session default is the convention of the default specimen frame, so that everything holding that frame follows a change of it
east the reference direction pointing east on screen
edax the EDAX/TSL frame of the given setting, 1 to 4, z out of the screen
ij the convention of images: x east, y south, z into the screen
intoScreen the reference direction pointing into the screen
isPictogram whether both screen axes lie along reference axes, so that the convention reads as ‘y↑→x’
makeDefault makes this convention the session default, that of the default specimen frame
north the reference direction pointing north on screen
outOfScreen the reference direction pointing out of the screen
setView a polar axes turned as the plotting convention says, a 3D axes looking down its out of screen direction
south the reference direction pointing south on screen
west the reference direction pointing west on screen
