Thank you every one for your valuable answers and consideration.
But I think that i don't explain my question as well.
So, to be more explicit, I attached here an article that contains an example of exactly what I seek. Indeed, from Fig. 3 of this this paper, the authors consider the horizontal directions - according to my view point - as the mostly vertical ones and vice versa (what I thought that are vertical, they are considered to be mostly horizontal).
Can anyone explain me this fact?
