This is a long standing issue with Inkscape and basically consists of the following:
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.
It may turn out to take quite a bit of development effort to fix this but I'm just going to kickstart this to show my interest.
Jarl, as you requested I changed this issue's title using the admin UI.
The title here matches the title of the original issue.
@Tony: Thanks for the swift edit!
@PCee: Glad to see you joined so quickly!
Thanks for putting me on this … Interesting.
Great stuff, I've linked on Action Show reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxActionShow/
Once developed will new system be optional or hard-coded?
