Picture of the coordinate system for panner node #1777
Description
It would be super-helpful if we had a picture of the coordinate system used in the panner node for the source and the listener. I think the coordinate system is right-handed but other than that, I can never remember. A diagram showing this would really help.

Is this the sort of thing you were after Ray?

That's a nice picture of the cone angles; I like it. One small nit. The "Inner Cone" location is slightly ambiguous. Maybe move it to some place where it's obvious referring to just one line. Similarly, move "Outer Cone" to be on the other side of the line to make it really clear.
But what I was really looking for is a picture showing the coordinate axes. IIRC, for the source, +x goes to the right, +y is up, and +z points to the listener. The coordinate system for the listener is similar but +z points to the source. At least at startup. When you move the objects around, the coordinate system is a pure translation.

@hoch to work with @rtoy to get a diagram of the coord systems.
