graphics.points coordinates are borked(?)

[weakman54]

So, I was gonna faff about with transformations to get a better grasp of how they worked, when I noticed something interesting:

Hmm, lets zoom in:

wtfpointsZoom.PNG (1.51 KiB) Viewed 2414 times

Ok, what? So calling points as (1, 1) will place the point one pixel above the rectangle, which has the starting point (1, 1)?
So did I find a bug, or is this intended?

If it's intended, why is it like this?

So first of all, the top-left is actually (0, 0), not (1, 1). The second thing you may be seeing, and this depends on drivers, is that points are usually drawn with the coordinate as its centre point. This means that (at least on most systems) drawing at (0.5,0.5) is the way to fill the pixel at (0, 0), and drawing at (0,0) actually fills all neighbouring pixels. Unfortunately points are just really awkwardly defined in OpenGL.

Ah, that makes sense (and kind of not as well...)

This should probably be stated somewhere on the wiki pages for points and point =/
Edit: nevermind, it is there... However it might be higlighted a bit more?
