<p>All point data in PDAL is stored as a set of dimensions. Dimensions
have a name and a data type. The data type is determined at runtime, but
a default data type for each dimension is listed below, along with the name
of the dimension and its description.</p>
<p>The following table provides a list of known dimension names you can use in
<a class="reference internal" href="stages/filters.html#filters"><span class="std std-ref">Filters</span></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="stages/writers.html#writers"><span class="std std-ref">Writers</span></a>, and <a class="reference internal" href="stages/readers.html#readers"><span class="std std-ref">Readers</span></a>.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>Types are default types. Stage developers should set the dimension type
explicitly if the default dimension isn’t suitable.</p>
