Hello,

I am trying to understand the dx files that are made by volmap. This is what I understand until now:

[header]
header info like origin etc
[/header]

[data]
0 0 0 -> x0 y0 z0
0 0 0 -> x0 y0 z1
0 0 0 -> x0 y0 z2
0.001294 0 0 -> x0 y0 z3

(...)

0 0 0 -> x0 y1 z0
0 0 0 -> x0 y1 z1

(...)

[/data]

So each row of data represents a point on the grid and they are described as I have shown here.
This is how I understood that dx works.
What I didn't understand is what is represented in each point as 0 0 0. For example, on the row (0.001294 0 0) what does 0.001294 represent?

Thank you,
Andrei
