Hi Steve,

The x and y arguments to openslide_read_region() are the coordinates of 
the top left corner of the region in layer 0.  I just checked the output 
of openslide-write-png against Aperio ImageScope, and the coordinates 
line up within a couple of pixels.  Are you seeing this problem with 
openslide-write-png?

That may be your problem: endCoordinateY should be startCoordinateY.
