Allocates a new Physical Dimensions structure
#include "dip_support.h"
dip_Error dip_PhysicalDimensionsNew ( newPhysDims, dimensionality, dims, orig, dimUnit, intensity, offset, intensUnit, resources )
This function allocates a new Physical Dimensions structure.
A physical dimensions structure contains information about the physical dimensions of the data (of dimensionality dimension) in an image. It describes the position (orig) and size (dims) of a pixel in world coordinates and physical units (dimUnits), as well as the scaling (intensity) and offset (offset) of the pixel intensity in physical units (intensUnit).
Note that the initial values assigned by this function assume an isotropic pixel size. These values can be changed within the structure generated if this is not the case.
