What is a lobachevskian geom?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry
Or a Reim geom?

This may not have occured to you but some people may have no idea what
a Cartesian three dimensional coordinate system is. They are even less
likely to know when you have abreviated something like Riem. Whenever
one group with its own language is making a request of a group that
has its own language it is best to provide a referance source to any
terms that group one may know but group two my have no experiance
with. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system 
Now, which of systems listed there did you want illustrated?

How big did you want this thing?  This big?

That big * 16

Size matters.
