Hi,

I'll try to keep this short.  In DX the native file format says that the
"last index varies fastest".  I have a 2-D grid with x varying fastest and
z varying slowest.  So I define positions like so

object 1 class gridpositions counts 401 201 
origin  0  0
delta   0  1
delta   1  0

This displays nicely and all, but DX thinks that the first index is x and
the second is y.  So my original grid which is (x,y,z) gets mapped to
(x,z,y).  Now for scalars, who cares, but for vectors and more importantly
pseudovectors like magnetic fields this is an important point; my
coordinate system has just changed from being right-handed to left-handed.

Would anyone happen to know a solution for this other than rewriting my
original data file to suit DX?

Thanks,
Tom
