[Wien] Confusion after axes transformation

You can do only the "standard" d-orbitals.

However, when you want to analyse the orbitals in a non-default way, use
x qtl (see UG). You can change the coordinates there as you like.

The co-ordinate axes underwent the following transformation x --> z, y --> x, z --> x . I want to study the electronic structure of d orbitals (dz2, dx2-y2, etc.). But how to plot the 5 d orbitals after these transformation.  I assume I need to plot dx2, dz2-x2, etc. But how do I plot them?
