ORIGIN

The ORIGIN command can be used to set the origin of the cartesian axes with respect to which drawing instructions will operate. The command accepts the coordinates x, y of the origin, and the indication whether the Y axis is oriented upwards (UP) or downwards (DOWN). If not used, the reference system by default is placed at the top left with the Y axis downwards.
