Controls the orientation of the Y axis. Internally in some drivers the + native axis orientation is top-bottom, so the CD primitives must invert the + Y axis since the CD orientation is bottom-top. Using CD_QUERY will return + the current Y axis mode, if needs to be invert or not. Using 1 or 0 you can + control if the Y axis should be inverted or not independent from the native + orientation, with that you can in fact invert the orientation of the CD + primitives.

In some graph systems, the origin is at the upper left corner of the - canvas, with the direction of the Y axis pointing down. In this case, the - function converts the coordinate system of the CD library into the internal - system of the active canvas' driver, and the other way round.

Converts the coordinate system of the CD library into the internal + system of the active canvas' driver, and the other way round, if they are + invert, or else do nothing. This is just "y = height-1 - y". It returns the changed value. The "Invert" will always invert the given value, the "Update" function will invert only if the canvas has the Y axis inverted.
