     Type:  defect          |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium          |   Milestone:  PostGIS 1.5.3
Component:  postgis raster  |     Version:  trunk        
 Keywords:                  |

 To recreate this box
 BOX(0 0,100 100)
 one would expect to use the upper left corner (as documented[1])


 {{{
 select  st_box2d(ST_MakeEmptyRaster(100, 100, 0, 100, 1)) as upperl,
         st_box2d(ST_MakeEmptyRaster(100, 100, 0, 0, 1)) as lowerl;
 }}}

 but it is in fact the lower left corner, wich I personnaly prefer.

 On a personal touch, I must say I am new to PostGIS raster, but I'd like
 to add I couldn't understand from the documentation what ipx, ipy, scalex,
 scaley, skewx, skewy where standing for and what were their effects.
