About Coordinates

macOS has two commonly used coordinate systems: for higher level elements the origo (0, 0) is situated in the bottom left corner of the screen, on the contrary for lower level elements the origo is situated in the top left corner of the screen (flipped).

This API has no distinction between these systems — Points can represent both cases. The larger part of the API uses a flipped top left based origin, unless otherwise is stated.
