[MINC-users] Naming the axis for a 4 Dimensional MNC file

[Andrew Janke]

The naming is entirely arbitrary.  For example:

   $ mincconcat -concat_dimension freddy \
         ~/data/me/janke_andrew_256x256x256_T1.mnc out.mnc

   audrey:rotor$ mincinfo out.mnc
file: out.mnc
image: signed__ short -32768 to 32767
image dimensions: freddy zspace yspace xspace
    dimension name         length         step        start
    --------------         ------         ----        -----
    freddy                      1            1            0
    zspace                    256       0.9375     -116.135
    yspace                    256          0.9     -89.0348
    xspace                    256       0.9375     -118.179

That said, there are a few fairly standard names such as "time" and
"vector_dimension".
