Compatibility of Geometry DefinitionsΒΆ

The translation and orientation geometry used by this canSAS standard are consistent with:

Cartesian:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system
Right-hand rule:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule
NeXus:http://www.nexusformat.org/Coordinate_Systems
McStas:http://mcstas.risoe.dk/documentation/tutorial/node6.html

SHADOW:The translation and orientation geometry definitions used here are different than those used by SHADOW (http://www.nanotech.wisc.edu/shadow). In SHADOW, the \(y\) and \(z\) axes are swapped and the direction of \(x\) is changed.
