In FreeSewing -- and in SVG -- coordinates are like text in a book.
|
||
|
|
You start at the top on the left side, and going to the right
|
||
|
|
and downwards means going ahead.

Which means that on the X-axis, `20` is further to the right than `10`.
|
||
|
|
Likewise, on the Y-axis, `50` is lower than `20`.
|
||
|

|
<Note>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Y-axis is inverted in many drawing programs, with the origin
|
||
|
|
`(0,0)` being the lower left corner, rather than the upper left corner.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a common point of confusion so keep in mind that the Y-axis may
|
||
|
|
not behave as you would have intuitively expected.
