Hello Gan and everyone on the List:

Yes, your statement is correct, but this would add more information:

"Sign languages do use the Front-Diagonal-Plane occasionally. SignWriting
hand symbols are not written on the Front-Diagonal-Plane. They are always
written parallel to the Wall or Floor Planes, and the Front-Diagonal-Plane

arrow gives the diagonal information:
