# CGImagePropertyOrientation.downMirrored

The encoded image data is vertically flipped from the image’s intended display orientation.

```
case downMirrored
```

## Discussion

The (x,y) pixel coordinates of the origin point (0,0) represent the leftmost column and bottom row, respectively. Pixel (x,y) positions increase left-to-right, bottom-to-top.

If an image is encoded with this orientation, then displayed by software unaware of orientation metadata, the image appears vertically flipped. (Alternatively, the image is rotated 180° and then flipped horizontally.)
