Error when writing nrrd data with a vector list header #162

Open eleftherioszisis opened 2 hours ago

eleftherioszisis commented 2 hours ago

With the changes in #157 the following repro that was working before:

import nrrd
import numpy as np

header = { 'space directions': [None, np.array([10.,  0.], dtype=np.float32), np. array([ 0., 20.], dtype=np.float32)],
          'encoding': 'gzip'}
nrrd_data = np.array([[[11, 21]],
                      [[12, 22]],
                      [[13, 23]]])
nrrd.write('/tmp/a.nrrd', nrrd_data, header=header)

throws with the v1.1.1 release:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence. The requested array has an inhomogeneous shape after 1 dimensions. The detected shape was (3,) + inhomogeneous part.

Given that this is similar to how the vector list header is described in https://pynrrd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/background/datatypes.html#double-vector-list , this shouldn't fail. Isn't that right?

If you do nrrd.SPACE_DIRECTIONS_TYPE = 'double vector list', it should work.

For your code to work as it is, you have to do [None, None], ... so that it's converted to NaN when massaging into a Numpy array. This is a np.asarray issue from what I recall.

See below snippet for what will work (I think).

header = { 'space directions': [[None, None], np.array([10.,  0.], dtype=np.float32), np. array([ 0., 20.], dtype=np.float32)],
          'encoding': 'gzip'}
