Is there some convenience function to show an image in Makie? I have to transpose and reverse the y-axis everytime. And I often forget…

The function is called `rotr90` 😉 You can find it for example here in the third example: [image (makie.org)](https://docs.makie.org/stable/examples/plotting_functions/image/#example_17247350919867677199)

We’ve thought about a more convenient version before but so far noone has actually done it. I agree it’s a bit tedious to rotate correctly everytime. But I also think, that in general keeping the first dimension x and the second y is a good default because it aligns with all other functions.
