Supported position formats
Currently, 2 different coordinate systems are supported: cartesian and spherical coordinates.
For cartesian coordinates, the format string can contain any of the letters x, y and z. For spherical coordinates, the letters a, e, d are allowed. A suffix of rad tells the osc-kreuz that azimuth or elevation should be in radians, otherwise they are in degrees. If only one of the spherical coordinates is required, azim, azimuth, elev, elevation, dist, distance are also valid position formats.
Some examples of valid position format strings are listed in the following table:
