I want to draw in tikz-3dplot things that we usually draw to make drafts of fairly simple problems, that involve 3 dimensional space. But i am having trouble to understand the function \tdplotsetmaincoords (of tikz-3dplot) and use it.
The documentation i found, which is the texdoc.net[...]tikz-3dplot/tikz-3dplot_documentation.pdf one found in texdoc.net, seems old or incomplete. Further, it is the same file found in tug.ctan.org[...]/tikz-3dplot/tikz-3dplot_documentation.pdf
Further, if it is useful, i did not understand how to use the information given in
stackex[...]navigation-system-coordinates-in-tikz-3dplot
1) it gives 3 arguments to tdplotsetmaincoords, different of what documentations says for that command.
2) i want to rotate only in the y axis, clockwise (when we look from up); and in the x axis, anticlockwise, looking from the right
May you help me understanding that function and using it?
