Problem

PR #21426 adds a "roll" angle to viewing 3D plots for v3.6.0. We need a picture like the one below (which comes from here) to communicate to users what the viewing angles are.

Compared to the picture below, we call that angle "roll" rather than twist. Note also the arrows show the movement of the axes, not the camera. This is the same rotation convention that pyvista uses.

We should probably also have an image showing the movement of the camera, not the axes.

This isn't my strong suit so I'll leave it for someone else to complete.
