[GiDlist] Simple question about right/left-handed axes?

[Roger Young]

Is it possible to specify the "handedness" of the GiD global axes? in a consistent way?
Sometimes the GUI axes appear right-handed and sometimes left-handed!!
(at least so it seems to me)

I don't understand you.
The global axes are always the same: (1,0,0) (0,1,0) (0,0,1), centered at
(0,0,0).
(but for view pourposes, this axes are not drawn at (0,0,0), it are drawn in
a fixed screen location).

When your rotate the view you only change the user viewpoint, but not change
the model coordinates or the global axes.
