The directions of columns and rows are defined by two types of vectors: column vectors and row vectors.
These are distinct from the rows and columns of seats - such as those found on trains or airplanes - that we encounter in our daily lives.
Thank you for the detailed explanation Sekigawa - How are you? I hope you are keeping well.
I was mostly surprised because my software (dw2000) clearly defined the array as 3 columns and 2 rows but the klayout view (that my customer uses) shows the opposite and caused confusion.
