#1567: meshgrid reverses dimensions of output?

 Priority:  normal          |   Milestone:  2.0.0   
Component:  numpy.numarray  |     Version:          
 Keywords:  meshgrid        |  
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 In the following code, wouldn't it make more sense if

 shape(Xmesh)==(NX,NY)

 rather than the current way around?  The order of the arguements to
 meshgrid is (X,Y), so why shouldn't that be the order of the output's
 scripting?
 Code below:

 from numpy import meshgrid,arange,shape;
 NX=5;
 NY=10;
 X=arange(NX);
 Y=arange(NY);
 Xmesh, Ymesh = meshgrid(X,Y);
 assert(shape(Xmesh) == (NY,NX));
