Category Description
Data items in the ARRAY_STRUCTURE category record the organization and
encoding of array data that may be stored in the ARRAY_DATA category.
NeXus Mapping Details
Note that this is essentially a type that may apply to multiple
binary images, and corresponds to some of the detailed HDF5
information about an array. The following mapping is a placeholder
for the names given for future reference, if needed.
The information in this category is the byte order, the compression
information, and the encoding, which is carried in and retrievable
from the HDF5 types, properties lists, etc.
At present NeXus does not expose this information. This should be
discussed.
Category Example
loop_
_array_structure.id
_array_structure.encoding_type
_array_structure.compression_type
_array_structure.byte_order
image_1 "unsigned 16-bit integer" none little_endian
