East is Right ( positive x-axis)
West is LEFT ( negative x-axis)
North is UP (positive y-axis)
South is DOWN ( negative y-axis)
30 degrees EAST of SOUTH means
you start at south ( negative y-axis)
and move the compass needle for the angle
30 degrees TOWARDS East (counter-clockwise)
This creates an angle in quadrant 4, such that
(1) 60 degrees BELOW the positive x-axis
(2) 30 degrees counterclockwise from the negative y-axis
