Hello,
I wonder if
image(t(x)[ncol(x):1, ])
can do the job correct!
perhaps this does the job better:
image(t(x)[,nrow(x):1])

It's pure convention: see below.

Did you try reading the help for image? You don't seem to understand it if
you actually did. It seems you are looking for
image(t(x)[ncol(x):1, ])
Easy!
Mathematical conventions are just that, conventions. They differ by field of
mathematics. Don't ask us why matrix rows are numbered down but graphs are
numbered up the y axis, nor why x comes before y but row before column. But the
matrix layout has always seemed illogical to me.
