Does this mean you are indexing an image array and you'd like to vertically flip the image array or does that mean you want to verticallly flip the image?

Normally the coordinate system starts at the top left of the image. Right is the positive x-axis and down is the positive y-axis. So the pixel in the top left would be (0,0) or (1,1) in MATLAB
Mabe this illustration helps:

Images and "regular" plots have different conventions for whether the Y axis should be increasing or decreasing as you move towards the bottom of the page or screen. You can use the axis function to switch between the conventions, specifying 'ij' as the ydirection input argument to put the origin in the upper-left corner rather than the lower-left.

plot(1:10)
title('image xy')

plot(1:10)
axis ij
title('image ij')
