Can I change X, Y origin?

Hey guys, so I’m developing my game, but the X, Y coordinates where they are are really confusing… Can I change it so the Y origin ( 0 ) is at the bottom of the screen, not the top?

jake, having 0,0 be at top left of the screen has been the convention/standard in computer graphics since beginning of time. [import]uid: 160496 topic_id: 31950 reply_id: 127400[/import]

Really? It isn’t in Inkscape, or GIMP… [import]uid: 144504 topic_id: 31950 reply_id: 127402[/import]

Are you sure?

“You can set the offset of the first cell. The coordinate origin is the upper left corner of the image. By default, the grid begins at the coordinate origin, (0,0).”

inkscape apparently stands alone in this.

Oh, hmm, well anyways is there anyway to put it at the bottom in Corona? [import]uid: 144504 topic_id: 31950 reply_id: 127404[/import]

Not that I know of… Obviously you can make your own functions and call something like invy(y) instead of y, but that’s about it. [import]uid: 160496 topic_id: 31950 reply_id: 127407[/import]

Yep. if it really bothers you you can take -1*(display.contentHeight - y) to get the kind of coordination you want (I haven’t tested that but my brain thinks it will work0 [import]uid: 63787 topic_id: 31950 reply_id: 128575[/import]
