x and y values

local textObject = display.newText( “Hello World!”, 50, 50, nil, 24 )
textObject:setTextColor( 255,255,255 )

Looking at the above, the 50, 50 looks like x & y positioning coordinates with 24 being the font size? for the “Hello World” text?

Is there a table or grid that shows us where the position of a point will be on the simulator screen? or do we just keep punching in values and re-launching to try and find where we want an image or text?
