We need a picture like the one below (which comes from [here](https://brlcad.org/gallery/picture.php?/4)) to communicate to users what the viewing angles are.\r\n\r\nCompared to the picture below, we call that angle \"roll\" rather than twist. Note also the arrows show the movement of the *axes*, not the camera. This is the same [rotation convention that pyvista uses](https://docs.pyvista.org/api/core/camera.html#controlling-camera-rotation).\r\n\r\nWe should probably also have an image showing the movement of the *camera*, not the axes.\r\n\r\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14363975/139560824-32c6d8d3-ef03-47ad-9ac6-5a63dc606447.png)\r\n\r\nThis isn't my strong suit so I'll leave it for someone else to complete.\r\n\r\n### Suggested improvement\r\n\r\n_No response_\r\n\r\n### Matplotlib Version\r\n\r\n3.5.0.dev2389+g8ad61bdacd\r\n\r\n### Matplotlib documentation version\r\n\r\n3.4.3","author":{"url":"https://github.com/scottshambaugh","@type":"Person","name":"scottshambaugh"},"datePublished":"2021-10-30T23:13:51.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/21508/matplotlib/issues/21508"}
