Dear Paraview community,<br>
<br>
I am trying to use Paraview to render a volume composed of several slices acquired with a microscope. Due to our method of data acquisition, the slices do not line up exactly. They are skewed at a certain angle. So the image stack is shaped like a parallelepiped
rather than the conventional cuboid shape. The nrrd file format seems like a good candidate to allow us to render these skewed volumes since nrrd allows one to relate data space with physical/global space by setting the "space directions" property in the
nrrd header file (see below).<br>
<br>
I have written the nrrd header file as below, but I cannot get Paraview to render the stack correctly. It just renders the stacks in a cuboid shape as if I never even set the "space directions" property. Have I written the header file incorrectly, or am I
forgetting something? Or maybe paraview cannot make use of this metadata? I have double checked my geometry, and I believe that the space directions vectors are correct.<br>

Thanks for your help,<br>
