Foil 31 Coordinate System for VRML

From VRML 2 Basic Concepts and Definitions CPS616 -- Information Track of CPS -- Spring Semester 98. by Zeynep Ozdemir, Rob Baker, Meryem Ispirli, Geoffrey C. Fox
VRML uses a cartesian, right-handed, 3-dimensional coordinate system.
By default, objects are projected onto a 2-dimensional device by projecting them in the direction of the positive Z axis, with the positive X axis to the right and the positive Y axis up.
A camera or modeling transformation may be used to alter this default projection.
The standard unit for lengths and distances specified is meters.
The standard unit for angles is radians.
