Data Types

Data Types

The data can be largely divided into three types.

When displaying image data, multiple images can be displayed together but images cannot be displayed together with either shape or numerical data.
When displaying shape data, shape and image data cannot be displayed together though multiple shape data can be displayed simultaneously and shape data can also be displayed together with 1 set of numerical data.
When displaying numerical data, this data cannot be displayed together with either image or numerical data though it can be displayed together with any number of shape data.

In addition, numerical data is divided into structured and unstructured data and these are further divided into many types.


Glossary

Scalar - indicates that there is one data component
Vector - indicates that there are many data components
Space - Defines the dimension of the coordinate space. 2 space indicates that the coordinates are located in the X,Y plane and 3 space indicates that the coordinates exist in the X, Y,Z space.
Byte - indicates that the data is of byte type.
Uniform - Indicates that the lattice is a orthogonal uniformly spaced lattice and that no coordinate values are defined in the data file.
