Re: [OT] Alternative to Inkscape

I suppose, but consider that we learned graphs all through school with a bottom up left to right coordinate system, so that seems to me more natural. Also with top down systems, you have to think that left to right numbers go up, but top down numbers go up. So down is up. Kinda like Pirates of
