<div dir="ltr">Thanks Raj,<div>I can understand the reason why the top-left is the origin but was hoping the standard was perhaps flexible enough to allow setting of alternative origins given the historical reference to TMS.</div>

<br>
"Integer-based coordinate systems are usually oriented starting 0,0 at the top left. It especially makes sense when they're meant to be linearly mapped to screen/image pixel coordinates (which has 0,0 at the top left). It's the way WMS GetFeatureInfo I,J is oriented, and the way Google Maps tiles are oriented. I believe it's also the way ArcGISMap tiles are oriented. TMS appears to be the exception."<br>
