Hellow everybody!

A simples question: is it correct the graphic representation for covariant (x₀, y₀) and contravariant (x⁰, y⁰) coordinates of black vector?

  • Diagram of two non-orthogonal coordinate axes labelled X and Y meeting at a common origin, with a black vector from the origin; blue segments mark covariant components x₀ and y₀ on lines parallel to the axes, and red segments mark contravariant components x⁰ and y⁰ along the axes.
