You might try something like the following:
!P.T = [[0,-1,0,1],[1,0,0,0],[0,0,1,0],[0,0,0,1]]
!P.T3D = 1
!P.NOCLIP = 1
Actually, rather than setting !P.NOCLIP=1, it would be better to calculate what
the correct coordinates for !P.CLIP would be, based on !P.XMARGIN, !P.YMARGIN,
!P.CHARSIZE, etc. I'll leave that part up to you to work out. :^)
