I suppose you are referring to the OpenGL texture coordinate system. Surfaceflinger uses OpenGL ES and textures. Surfaces are stored as textures.
When SurfaceFlinger needs to draw a surface, the coordinates need to be mapped from pixel X,Y to texture X,Y. In OpenGL, (0,0) is bottom left and (1,1) is top right. Note that the coordinates are normalized to fall in the range 0..1, plus the Y axis is actually reversed! That's why you see the one minus for y coordinates... --Shree On 02-Sep-2015 10:53 pm, "林作健" <manjian2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi recently when I am digging surfaceflinger's code, I found this service > draw its layer vertically flipped.
