The normal convention is that the first (zero) row of an image is at the top,
and Gandalf uses this convention. It is only relevant in certain image
processing and vision algorithms where the image orientation affects
the results. OpenGL assumes the opposite convention, which Gandalf gets
around by displaying images using a negative vertical scaling of image
coordinates. Currently the only image processing algorithm which assumes
an image orientation is the Canny edge detector.
