it's not a matter of "right" and "wrong".

mathematicians tend to put the origin in the lower-left corner (like a 
coordinate system)
computer-graphics prefer the upper-left corner (back in the old days, 
the cursor would appear in the 1st line on the screen)

openGL has been designed by mathematicians.
tcl/tk comes from the computer geeks...

btw, this fuzz is the reason why the tables in Pd are never oriented the 
right way...
