(maybe a third for volume access too). Why I say this is that in Matlab (which also expects vectorized coding style) it is possible, and it simplifies vectorization efforts and yields a good performance impact (as compared to a non-vectorized matlab code). I have personally found it very beneficial to re-interpret the same data block as vector, stack of image frames or volumes within the same application, depending on what is being extracted from (of) the data. <BR /><BR />Just a thought at best, maybe an entry in my wish list too...
