Re: Minutes, 12 August 2009 SVG telcon

Hi WG,

Regarding ISSUE-2291 that was raised at yesterdays telcon.

It might be worth keeping in mind that that OpenVG specification [1] in Section 
6.4 specifies that the pixel (x, y) has its center at the point (x + 0.5, y + 
0.5) - i.e. 0,0 is the bottom left of the bottom left.

Given the choice of the different variations out there, I'd prefer to go with 
Alex's assumption and say that 0,0 should be the top left of the top left.

Regards,

Anthony
