Thanks for posting this. It is helpful. There were several follow-up messages about this on jmol-users, and you may not have been copied on some critical ones. I believe that the general concensus is that the confusion is caused by a labelling error in RasWin (and possibly some older versions of RasMol). Jan says that RasWin puts the Y label at the *top* of the axis, which is actually the negative end. Nevertheless, the coordinate system *is* right-handed ... it was only a labelling issue. Jan also says that this problem does not exist in RasMol 2.7 > In any case it is the intention, > as stated in the manual for y to be increasing going down and x > to be increasing going to the right. This was actually the genesis of the discussion on jmol-users ... the fact that the +Y axis goes down. The axis orientation discussion was a prelude to the *real* discussion that we need to have about the rotations in RasMol.
