So lets do it by virtual: you build a virtual monitor who's coordinates for its display screen happen to land on [0,0,0] for one corner and [800,0,400] for the second. now someone tries to put something in that screen using [0,0,0] [800,400,0] and all points between to display the pixels. you would end up with nothing on the screen without flipping it up first. Possible and is done, but makes less logical sense, that is my point, but it is not the point of the answer. your off topic. | |

Take Word processors, there the work is done on the virtual sheet of A4 paper, left-to-right, top-to-bottom - feels pretty much like XY coords. Same for CAD (and drawing boards that CAD systems emulate). | |
