It rather depends on the operating system. In Windows, for instance, the "global" origin is at top left (thus the Windows desktop represents the lower-right quadrant of the global coordinate plane). On the Mac, however, the global origin is at bottom left (thus the Mac desktop represents the upper-right quadrant).

However, in multi-monitor setups where the desktop extends onto other monitors (vertically, horizontally or both), only one monitor can hold the global origin, while all others are offset from this according to their specific arrangement within the matrix and their respective resolutions. However, the operating system ultimately decides where the origin will be placed once you've finished arranging your monitor layout within your multi-monitor control software.

The best way to locate the global origin is to simply draw a window at position 0, 0 with width and height 200. The window will appear upon the monitor that holds the origin, either at the top-left or bottom-right, thus denoting the global origin.

How can you make a splash screen in c or c plus plus?

Many people use a modified version of the program's About dialogue window as a splash screen, but you can also create a dedicated splash screen window that contains an image of the company logo along with some program information. The choice is yours but ultimately a splash screen is nothing more than a window that is shown while a program loads in the background. When the program has loaded, the splash screen is closed automatically. The simplest method of displaying your splash screen is to use a program loader function. Typically this will be your program's main function or a function called from your main function. The program loader first loads and displays the splash screen, then loads the rest of your program in the background before closing the splash screen window and finally showing the main window. Some splash screens display progress information during the load sequence, thus your program loader should send messages to the splash screen and give time to the system to allow messages to be processed. This will increase the time it takes to load your program, but if the load process is lengthy to begin with, it is better to give some indication of the progress.

What are some aspects of psychoanalytic thought that correspond to the concept in the Johari Window?

Psychoanalytic thought and the Johari Window both involve exploring hidden aspects of the self. The Freudian concept of the unconscious mind can be seen as the "hidden" quadrant in the Johari Window. Similarly, uncovering repressed thoughts, feelings, and memories align with expanding the "unknown" quadrant in the Johari Window. Both frameworks emphasize the importance of introspection and self-discovery for personal growth.
