yes, I think it is.

IIRC, the standard data storage for PIL iamges results in a (h, w) 
array, rather than a (w, h) one -- using X,Y, rather than Y,X is just a 
convention.

In numpy -- the convention is to think of and display the indexing as 
(row, column), hence (y, x), and MPL displays it that way.

you can just use (y,x) , or you can transpose the array:

Remember to transpose back if you want to make a PIL image again.
