Suppose you have an question like:
"In the t-x spacetime diagram of O, draw the basis vectors \vec{e}_0 and \vec{e}_1 Draw the corresponding basis vectors of \bar{O} , who moves with speed 0.6 in the positive x direction relative to O. Draw the corresponding basis vectors of \underline{O} , who moves with speed 0.6 in the positive x direction relative to \bar{O} ."
I know how to solve this just by drawing the \bar{t} axis and then drawing null lines from two points -a, a finding where they intersect and drawing a line from that point through the origin. Anyways, I was just wondering if there was a quicker way to address such problems.
