Re: NTImage and other NTTypes

[Greg W. <gr...@sl...>]

Hi James, At the PSI meeting we said that the definition of each NT would not be allowed to include 
another NT (though I don't think we minuted a resolution because we
weren't that well organised). Given that, can I strawman what you're proposing. please correct this:

structure NTdetector
   <<All field*s* that are in NDArray>>
   enum_t pixelFormat
   nameValuePair_t[] metadata

Cheers
Greg

This means a type that contains a multi-dimensional array, a pixel format enum and some extensible metadata. I don't care if it's stored as a tuple of a table, an array and a pixel format enum or whatever. There would need to be a very good reason for not making it compatible.
