Hi everyone,

I am trying to plot an image in Makie.jl however the image I get is flipped (both vertically and horizontally) for some reason. However when I plot the image in Plots.jl I get the perfect output.

The image output I get:

![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/c/c/ccdbffa6e88c8f2bc5aaeb894a527a633243ef2a.png)

  
The image output I want:

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Check the example here

[https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/examples/plotting\_functions/image/#examples](https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/examples/plotting_functions/image/#examples)

The reason it works like this is that the first dimension of the image matrix is mapped to x and the second to y just like all other plotting functions. But arguably there should be an option to change that behavior

Thanks for your reply, I was able to figure it out!

I was able to get my exact image, using this code:

and the respective output is:

however when I try to reverse the yaxis image again gets flipped:

How do I reverse the yaxis without flipping the image.

That should be the cow on the lower right
