Sometimes I would want to Plot simple functions on unconventional projection, but without specifying all the styling myself. If one looks at InputForm of a normal plot, all this would appear to be deep magic. Although on more complex scenarios I would want more than an affine projection, it is also a good starting point. Unfortunately even that with sensible grid lines and ticks labelling seems to be painful with the kludge I have found (yes, arguments are pretty arbitrary in my example):

ParametricPlot3D[{t, TriangleWave[t/4], 0}, {t, 0, 10}, 
 FaceGrids -> {{0, 0, 1}}, Ticks -> {Automatic, Automatic, None},
 ViewMatrix ->
  {TransformationMatrix[
    RescalingTransform[{{-8, 12}, {-2, 12}, {-1, 1}}]],
   {{1, -1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 1}}},
 PlotRegion -> {{0, 1}, {0, 8/2}}]

enter image description here

Are there any more sensible approaches to this without generating all the details explicitly?

    $\begingroup$ The hacky method I use is to convert the result of e.g. Plot[] to an image, and then use Image(Forward)Transformation[] on it. $\endgroup$ Commented May 18, 2020 at 15:02

    $\begingroup$ Does this answer your question? How to create a plot with inclined axes? $\endgroup$ Commented May 18, 2020 at 15:14
  • $\begingroup$ @MarcoB Unfortunately "not really" - large portion of the work needs to be done explicitly and FullGraphics featured there has serious bit rot that would need to be worked around... but it's good to link here anyway. $\endgroup$ Commented May 18, 2020 at 15:42
