nerds! I want a textual representation of a 3D cartesian coordinate system; it needs to be able to express which axis is "vertical", and the handedness. Maybe something like "RH+Y", or "LH+Z". Is there any sort of standard notation for this?

@Floppy not a decent answer but btw in CAD we talk about Y-up and Z-up to indicate which is vertical (because sadly there is no standard…)

@cornelius thanks! @manyfold currently assumes Z-up and has a Y-up switch, but now I’m having to deal with LH systems too, so need to generalise further!
