You did not label your axes either :)
In your left-handed (?) coordinate system, Y is up, and X is right.
Another labeling comes more naturally to me: a right-handed coordinate system where Z is up. That swaps Z and Y relatives to yours (thus changes handedness), and left me really puzzled over your labels.

Of course, you're right, right-hand axes labels are more common.
A good example of the problems we get into it when axes aren't labelled on the original visualization.
X: Days between October 1951 to April 1954.
Y: City-wide electricity consumption (Megawatt-hours (?)) in increments of 5MWh.
Z: Half-hours in day.
Additional info on daily card:
- sunrise-sunset time.
- several fields for weather information.
- illumination.
- free form "notable events" annotated on card.
Unbelievable someone cut these cards by hand in half-hour, 5MWh increments. Together with keeping track of notable events related to electricity consumption, some administrator filled a full-time job generating this data.
