Abstract
An image-processing apparatus operates in different orientations, producing a source image that may be either right-side up or upside down. The source image is stored in a memory circuit, read from the memory circuit on one order if right-side up, and read from the memory circuit in a different order if upside down, generating an output image that is always right-side up.
