the default plotting convention of the session, and setting it; MATLAB’s plotx2east, plotx2north, plotx2west, plotx2south, plotzOutOfPlane and plotzIntoPlane

Syntax

plottingConvention.default('y↓→x')

X east, y south, z into the screen.

plottingConvention.default(zvector, xvector)

Z out of the screen, x east.

plottingConvention.default(east=xvector)

X east, MATLAB’s plotx2east.

plottingConvention.default(north=xvector)

X north, MATLAB’s plotx2north.

plottingConvention.default(intoScreen=zvector)

Z into the screen, MATLAB’s plotzIntoPlane.

plottingConvention.default(outOfScreen=zvector)

Z out of the screen, MATLAB’s plotzOutOfPlane.

plottingConvention.default(north=xvector, save=True)

Kept for later sessions too.

Description

Read, plottingConvention.default is the convention of the default specimen frame, which every plot of data in that frame follows. Called with a convention, its name or the pair outOfScreen, east, it makes that convention the default. Called with screen directions (east, west, north, south, outOfScreen, intoScreen) as keywords, it turns the current default by the least rotation that puts each given reference direction there and keeps the rest, as MATLAB’s plotx2east, plotzIntoPlane and the like do. A fresh installation draws ‘y↓→x’.

Input

outOfScreen a convention, its name (‘y↑→x’, ‘y^->x’ in ASCII), or the reference direction pointing out of the screen
east the reference direction pointing east, with outOfScreen

Keywords

keyword default description
save False also make it the default of later sessions, stored in mtex_settings.json
