[Bug 170049] Re: Inverted ruler co-ordinate system

 

@Thorjelly

I wrote scripts writing out geometries at scale (in mm). For debugging
and other purposes it is most useful if the numeric values in the
document stay these numbers and the rulers also show the same numbers.
This is not only useful for the scale but also where on the page the
origin is and if it is a right-handed or left-handed coordinate system.

Title:
  Inverted ruler co-ordinate system

Status in Inkscape:

Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  The y-axis of the rulers' co-ordinate system is
  inverted (increasing upwards), and places the origin on
  the bottom left of the viewport. The SVG spec places the
  default origin on the top left of the viewport, and has
  the co-ordinate system increasing to the right and
  downwards.
