<p>Dear colleagues,</p>
<p>I find unfortunate the use of X and Y to refer to dimensions.</p>
<p>In particular in NXdetector I can read:<br>
</p>
<p><strong>i</strong>: number of detector pixels in the first (X,
slowest) direction</p>
<p><strong>j</strong>: number of detector pixels in the second (Y,
faster) direction</p>
<p>In fact, images get represented the other way around and the
number of rows correspond to the vertical direction (the Y).
Furthermore since the default order is C order, that corresponds
to Z,Y,X and not to X,Y,Z.</p>
<p>I propose to get rid of those confusing X and Y staff. For
instance:</p>
<p><strong>i</strong>: number of detector pixels in the first
(slowest) dimension</p>
<p><strong>j</strong>: number of detector pixels in the second
(faster) dimension</p>
<p>However, the damage is already made with things like
x_pixel_size, y_pixel_size, <br>
</p>
<p>Am I right to assume that what you call x, y and eventually z in
NXdetector has to be interpreted as dim0, dim1, dim2 in the nexus
NXdetector context?<br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Armando<br>
