coordinates. In other words: the origin will coincide with the center
of pixel (0, 0).

Two typical representations are used for RGB images with an alpha
channel:

- Straight (unassociated) alpha: R, G, and B channels represent the
color of the pixel, disregarding its opacity.
- Premultiplied (associated) alpha: R, G, and B channels represent
the color of the pixel, adjusted for its opacity by multiplication.

`~matplotlib.pyplot.imshow` expects RGB images adopting the straight
(unassociated) alpha representation.
