[Shawn Rutledge <170049@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The fix is barely adequate for only a few people IMO.

Some 1990s-era programs for graphical work had the ability to drag the
corner where the rulers meet, out into the document somewhere, to set a
new origin.

I would expect to _at least_ have a document-specific setting to set the
origin anywhere on the page, numerically.

If I'm drawing a room (furniture layout etc.), I don't want the corner
of the room to need to be at the corner of the page.  It should be
whichever corner I decided to start measuring from.  (And that in fact
is what I'm trying to do at this very moment.)

Title:
  Inverted ruler co-ordinate system

Status in Inkscape:
  Fix Released
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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.
