All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable

public class SwappableMetadata extends CoreMetadata
Extends CoreMetadata to include the notion of an "input order" for planes: the input order being the order planes are stored on disk.

NB: Input order can differ from the CoreMetadata.dimensionOrder field, the latter being the order dimensions are returned (and thus returned by IFormatReader.getDimensionOrder()).

This class is primarily intended for use by DimensionSwapper and its children, which introduce the API to separate input and output orders.
