+===== General definitions =====
-The cow coordinate system is a right handed coordinate system, where looking on the screen the x-axis points to the right, the y-axis points down and the z axis point into the screen.
+The cow coordinate system is a right handed coordinate system, where - while looking on the screen - the x-axis points to the right, the y-axis points downwards and the z-axis point into the screen away from the user.

-The rotation of an object is defined as a counterclockwise rotation. However since the coordinate system is viewed from the back the rotation appears as what is normally known as clockwise.

   * Rotations use the right hand thumb rule.
   * If right thumb points along an axis, then curved fingers point in the positive direction of rotation.
   * The rotation center is the center of the image.
