An arm location can be described using the following directions:

  • elbow: x-clock, y-clock
  • wrist: x-clock, y-clock
  • metacarpals: x-clock, y-clock
  • fingers: x-clock, y-clock
  • palm: x-clock, y-clock (auxiliary when finger direction is not enough)
     []  
    [  ]|   <- elbow points at 6,6,x
    [  ]|__ <- wrist points at 3,x,9
    [__]   L <- metacarpals at 6,6,x
    [][]   ^--- fingers point  3,3,9
