Dear All,

I am not sure how much reworking of nifticlib is planned. I hope not much. But if you are thinking about big rework can I suggest not having duplicate-looking variables storing the same information?

My problem here is nx,ny,nz...  and dx, dy, dz ... is effectively a duplication of dim[1..] and pixdim[1.]. As programmers we are more used to using dim[] and pixdim[] instead of nX and dX. Having both nX/dX and dim[]/pixdim[] causes confusion, as C cannot easily keep them in sync. Eliminating nX and dX will remove this confusion. It took me quite a lot of debugging to work out that nX has priority overe dim[] in nifticlib and that setting dim[] in nifti_image has no effect when writing image file using nifti_image_write because it will be overwritten by nX and I am not alone in this.

However, I recognize that nifticlib itself, and a lot of other programs might actually uses nX and dX and therefore, it is not an easy decision to make to retires nX/dX.

Thanks
Cinly
