The object you created has an inset of 40, and since NSMatrix organizes its cells from the top left, that is what you are seeing, regardless of whether or not NSMatrix returns YES for -isFlipped. If this is a matter of personal discovery, override -isFlipped in your class and have it return NO to see if it changes anything for your own satisfaction. If you must override NSMatrix for some extra drawing, use the value of -isFlipped to know whether top left or bottom left is the origin.
