Comment 86 for bug 170049

@vaifrax

While I do understand your approach as a programmer. From a design perspective (particularly web-design in which the bottom is not always clearly defined) it's often easier to think of coordinates as originating from the top left corner. Creating web design mock-ups in inkscape without the ability to see this kind of coordinate display is rather inconvenient.

The feature being requested here is to at least offer a *visual option* for users to observe the coordinate system as starting at the top left. Nothing needs to change in the background. Plugins can still use the old coordinate system and plugin developers can view the coordinate system however they want.
