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.
