[gmalinve]

Issue comes from this method: _parse_region_args() used by create_region. The z_pos is computed as +Y.

[fwlfHS]

So basically the order of the directions has changed over time in the API. It used to be ["+X", "+Y", "+Z", "-X", "-Y", "-Z"] and now it is: ["+X", "-X", "+Y", "-Y", "+Z", "-Z"]. The example uses the old order. Please update the example.
