In the Slick API, there is the flipped parameter for the Image class which is supposed to flip the image over the Y-axis. "flipped - True if the image should be flipped on the y-axis on load." It flips it over the X-axis.

I was using new Image("images/thing.png", true) and my image was upsidedown (X-axis flip).

Please let me know what is incorrect: the functionality, the API, or my knowledge on the definition of a Y-axis flip.

Well, I'm having a different problem entirely. Using new Image("images/thing.png", true) doesn't flip anything for me . Using Slick SVN.

If you got an upsidedown picture, then I think you're correct in saying that it's a bug, or at the very least it's not working as advertised. The y axis is a vertical line and to be flipped on this is to flip over this vertical line: left to right. This is what Adobe Illustrator does when you do Transform >> Reflect >> Vertical.

The Y Axis flip in this case is actually referring to an vertical flipping - it's just bad terminology use in the javadoc.
