To quote Kevin Lindsey from the Yahoo SVG-Developers group
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers ), where this question
just came up:
"
The easy answer is to enclose your shapes in a <g> element. Add a
vertical
translation to move the origin down and then mirror the y-axis.
<g transform="translate(0,3) scale(1, -1)">
<polygon points="0,0 7,0 0,3" fill="red"/>
</g>
The tricky part is determining how far you want to translate down. You
will
need to decide if you want to move the image to the bottom of the SVG
window or
if you simply want to flip the image in place. If you know these values
before
hand, then you can hard-code the translation; otherwise, you will have
to
resort to a script to initialize everything at startup.

Subject: SVG Coordinate System
Question:
SVG's default coordinate system has Y-coordinates that increase from top
to bottom. Is there a way to reverse the coordinate system
such that the Origin is at the bottom and Y-coordinates increase towards
the top of the screen?
Thanks
Bruce
