%
%   origin is the top left of the image
%   x axis pointing right, y axis pointing down.
%   points 2 has to be the same size as points 1
%
%   if 2 images have different size, the smaller one is rescaled.
%
%   coresponding lines are plot in different colors, from red to blue in
%   rainbow order.
