===Data sequence=== Like arrays stored in computer memory, the sequence of numerical values is ordered in progressive order along consecutive dimensions. For example, the array <pre> a11 a12 a13 a21 a22 a23 a31 a32 a33 </pre> will be written as: <pre> a11 a21 a31 a12 a22 a32 a13 a23 a33 </pre> A array with three dimensions will be ordered as follows: <pre> a111 a211 a311 a121 a221 a321 a131 a231 a331 a112 a212 a312 a122 a222 a322 a132 a232 a332 </pre> In this example dimension 1 is defined as the column direction, dimension 2 as the line direction, and dimension 3 as the "out of page" direction. This example follows the linear algebra / Fortran convention. It must be noticed that of only the reality of ordering of numerical values in the file is of substance; the imaginary representation with "vertical" and "horizontal" directions is not (the C language actually uses an inverse order for the dimensions). Thus, dimension 1 in a RSF dataset is in general defined as the dimension along which the first two elements in the data file are organized, then dimension 2 as the dimension adjacent to it, and so on.
