## @deftypefn  {Function File} {} image (@var{img})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} image (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{img})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} image (@dots{}, "@var{prop}", @var{val}, @dots{})

## Display a matrix as an indexed color image.
##
## The elements of @var{img} are indices into the current colormap.
## @var{x} and @var{y} are optional 2-element vectors, @w{@code{[min, max]}},
## which specify the range for the axis labels.  If a range is specified as
## @w{@code{[max, min]}} then the image will be reversed along that axis.  For
## convenience, @var{x} and @var{y} may be specified as N-element vectors
## matching the length of the data in @var{img}.  However, only the first and
## last elements will be used to determine the axis limits.
## @strong{Warning:} @var{x} and @var{y} are ignored when using gnuplot 4.0
## or earlier.
##
## Multiple property/value pairs may be specified for the image object, but
## they must appear in pairs.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to the image.
##
## Implementation Note: The origin (0, 0) for images is located in the
## upper left.  For ordinary plots, the origin is located in the lower
## left.  Octave handles this inversion by plotting the data normally,
## and then reversing the direction of the y-axis by setting the
## @code{ydir} property to @qcode{"reverse"}.  This has implications whenever
## an image and an ordinary plot need to be overlaid.  The recommended
## solution is to display the image and then plot the reversed ydata
## using, for example, @code{flipud (ydata)}.
##
## Calling Forms: The @code{image} function can be called in two forms:
## High-Level and Low-Level.  When invoked with normal options, the High-Level
## form is used which first calls @code{newplot} to prepare the graphic figure
## and axes.  When the only inputs to @code{image} are property/value pairs
## the Low-Level form is used which creates a new instance of an image object
## and inserts it in the current axes.
