What is the difference between SafeOrigin and Origin

[rahuliyers]

In cocos2d-x I recall using only origin. What is the purpose of safe origin ?

Assuming that you are referring to getSafeAreaRect().origin, then Director::getSafeAreaRect() has existed since Cocos2d-x, so it's not something new in Axmol, but if I recall correctly, there may have been improvements made in the Axmol implementation.

That method should return the area that is completely visible, not being obscured by things like cameras, rounded corners etc..
