Bug 1156

Summary: inverted image in OpenGL
Product: SDL Reporter: misiekaleksander
Component: *don't know*Assignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED INVALID QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>

Description misiekaleksander 2011-03-01 08:04:55 UTC 
In SDL for example point (0.0) is upper left.
In OpenGL point (0.0) is lower left so when I load texture and use OpenGL coordinates I have to upper down image.

Yep, this is not a bug per-se, 2D and 3D APIs just have different coordinate systems.

You can either flip the pixels, or you can flip your texture coordinates, or you can flip your view matrix, and any are fine solutions.
