[FFmpeg-user] FFmpeg documentation confusion

I think the example given in section 15.15 of the documentation is wrong, unless 
I've failed to understand it. It says:

# Add paddings with color "violet" to the input video. Output video
# size is 640x480, the top-left corner of the input video is placed at
# row 0, column 40.
pad=640:480:0:40:violet

but in my experience, this pad value puts the image 40 pixels down, not 40 
pixels across. I think it should read:

# Add paddings with color "violet" to the input video. Output video
# size is 640x480, the top-left corner of the input video is placed at
# column 0, row 40.
pad=640:480:0:40:violet
