NAME
miget_dimension_cosines, miset_dimension_cosines - Get or set the dimension's
cosine vector.
SYNOPSIS
#include <minc2.h>
int miget_dimension_cosines ( midimhandle_t dimension,
double cosines[3]);
int miset_dimension_cosines ( midimhandle_t dimension,
const double cosines[3]);
DESCRIPTION
Spatial dimension in MINC volumes may be associated with a vector of direction
cosines which define the precise orientation of the axis relative to "true"
x, y, or z coordinates.
The direction cosine vector always consists of exactly three values
which correspond to the x, y, and z directions, respectively. This is
true regardless of the ordering of dimensions in a specific volume or
data object.
Because of the direction cosines, it is possible for MINC volumes to
define non-orthogonal dimensions.
These functions fail if the dimension is not of the spatial class.
RETURN VALUE
Returns MI_NOERROR on success, or MI_ERROR on failure.
