I'm kinda baffled at this code to be honest. 

namely the 

({x_?NumericQ, y_?NumericQ} :>{y, x})

I can't figure out what numeric_q is doing.

because if just go...

({x, y} :> {y, x})

it seems to do nothing

cooll thing was that, 

({x_?NumericQ, y_?NumericQ} :>{y, -x})

will flip the picture upside down.



thanks in advance any insights
