Two more points:

Vertical coordinates increase downward. Horizontal increase rightward. (Quickdraw docs say that is because it matches printing standards.)

If you get involved with X-windows or Apple's X-11 the coordinates are transformed so that (0,0) represents the upper leftmost point of your screen array even if there is no CRT phosphor there. All screen coordinates are then positive. Default positioning of windows can be in space that doesn't exist.
