     * <P>Note: Image resolution level indexes may differ from
     * tile-component resolution index. They are indeed indexed

     * <P>Example: For an image (1 tile) with 2 components (component
     * 0 having 2 decomposition levels and component 1 having 3
     * decomposition levels), the first (tile-) component has 3
     * resolution levels and the second one has 4 resolution levels,
     * whereas the image has only 3 resolution levels available.

     * @param rl The image resolution level.
     *
     * @return The vertical coordinate of the image origin in the canvas
     * system, on the reference grid.
