Thanks for the comments.
In this case I don't mind that the z axis will always be vertical.
What I do want is that, for the chosen viewing angle (ax,az), the
postscript will be (apart from a - preferably known - scale factor) a
correct projection parallel to the line (ax,az) on a plane orthogonal to
the line (ax,az). Maybe I have to work out the transformation
(projection) myself, and use IDL 2D DG to plot it ...
