Hyphenated words and made a parallel structure.

Description

Hyphenated compound words like top-left, etc.

Made the sentences have parallel structure.

Motivation

The use of "top left" should be hyphenated to make a single compound modifier before the noun "corner".

Sentences should have parallel structure—"the first value represents..., the second value represents..."—to make the point clear and stronger.

Additional details

Purdue's OWL on when to hyphenate.
