I guess this would usually follow skimage's [coordinate conventions](http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/user_guide/numpy_images.html#coordinate-conventions) If we added this, we would want to defer all the image reading out to an external library such as skimage, e.g., by leveraging [`skimage.io.imread`](http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/api/skimage.io.html) > `xr.DataArray.expand_dims(dim)` You're definitely not the first person to ask about this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34987972/expand-dimensions-xray Yes, this would definitely be welcome in some form.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,216621142
