x-y grid comvention

[chaosbreaker]

Instead of using the (x horizontal place number) - (y vertical place number), like 0-0 or 1-2 how about using a letter and a number like A-1. It will make it esasier for people understand because people dont know which is vertical versus horizontal. you also may want to start number from 1 not 0.

here is how another PBW site does it:

Good idea, done.
Thanks.

It might be a good idea to follow general math and graph convention of having the bottom left as the A-1. Like this:



In this graph the numbers increase as you move up or to the right.
