Declares which child group contains a path leading to a NXdata group.

It is recommended (as of NIAC2014) to use this attribute to help define the path to the default dataset to be plotted. See https://www.nexusformat.org/2014_How_to_find_default_data.html for a summary of the discussion.

NeXus positions components by applying a set of translations and rotations to apply to the component starting from 0, 0, 0. The order of these operations is critical and forms what NeXus calls a dependency chain. The depends_on field defines the path to the top most operation of the dependency chain or the string “.” if located in the origin. Usually these operations are stored in a NXtransformations group. But NeXus allows them to be stored anywhere.

geometry: (optional) NXgeometry

DEPRECATED: Use the field depends_on and NXtransformations to position the velocity selector and NXoff_geometry to describe its shape instead

OFF_GEOMETRY: (optional) NXoff_geometry

This group describes the shape of the beam line component

TRANSFORMATIONS: (optional) NXtransformations
