You are right, scroll_engine is line based too. I would however rather say this means the scroll_engine needs to be updated too.

Some functions use offset in x and y axis. x_offset means how many pixels should be cropped from the left edge of the resulting bitmap (for smooth scrolling). This is the parameter I call xcrop. y_offset is merely used to pixel-adjust the position of a line, for smooth vertical scrolling. It is not needed with pixel positioning.
