The Cocoa Drawing Guide states "Cocoa event objects return y coordinate values 
that are 1-based instead of 0-based. Thus, a mouse click on the bottom left 
corner of a window or view would yield the point (0, 1) in Cocoa and not (0, 
0). Only y-coordinates are 1-based."

Why are the y-coordianate values of Cocoa event objects 1-based?

Do most developers simply subtract 1.0 from the y-coordianate value obtained 
from an event object to make it 0-based before using the x-y-coordinate values?
