Whats the difference between x coordinate and y coordinate?

[simon]

What is the difference between "x coordinate" and "y coordinate"?
I'm was transating and got to this:

Code: Select all

#: src/libvlc.h:201 msgid "" "You can enforce the position of the top left corner of the video window here " "(x coordinate)." msgstr ""

and the next thing I translate is this:

Code: Select all

#: src/libvlc.h:206 msgid "" "You can enforce the position of the top left corner of the video window here " "(y coordinate)." msgstr ""

soo I wonder what is the difference, to me it seems like it's the same thing

x coordinate is the left side of the window.

y coordinate is the top side edge of the window.

-both of them together make the upper left corner of the video window.

change x and the window moves left/right.

change y and it moves up/down.

[the entire-screen coordinate at the upper left, is x=0, y=0]

increase x and the video moves toward the right, increase y and the video is moving downward(all is based on the top left corner of the video window).

Now I get it, Thanks
