Or a bitmap vs a screen position. A position usually has x,y, while a pixel is at row,column. Not to mention bitmaps with y=0 at the bottom painted on screens with y=0 at the top. Compared to those, R.X := Horizontal_Coordinate(Cos(Theta) * Float(P.X) + Sin(Theta) * Float(P.Y)); is downright beautiful.
