Based on this tutorial, I understand symbols -| and |- are used to draw perpendicular lines.
But I wish to understand the difference between the two.
There are the following related questions:
- Insertion of perpendicular symbol at intersection of two perpendicular lines
- How to add perpendicular symbol at desired location
- How to Mark Right Angle in Tikz
But none of them seem to use the approach of -| and |-.
