Oh! Good to know. I have to change the my method in this case.

Yes, I do know the dimensions beforehand. For the sake of simplicity I
wanted to pass only planes to the pixel writer facility without
setting up dimensions in advance as these could be tracked by the
method.

Thanks for the explanation! Bernhard
