Dear VMD users

I'm using orient and tcl to compute the angle between the principal axes of
two protein domains. However, I'm running into some issue I cannot solve.
Sometimes the X or Y projection of the vectors flip (change sign) and thus
the computed angle also changes. How can this flipping be prevented or
solved?
