Why is thisrowno{} the name of the command to specify column number
0
The PGFPlots manual states this: thisrow{⟨column name⟩} or thisrowno{⟨column index⟩}.
In my understanding columns run vertical, rows horizontal.
So, I was wondering, if there was a deeper meaning behind the choice to name the command which specifies the column: thisrowno{} (this row number)?

Thank for pointing to the right page in the manual. Could you elaborate a little bit, I still don't see anything on page 57 or 58 on why a column number should be specified by a command that contains the name this row no. The name suggests it specifies row number (horizontal) but it specifies column number (vertical). I try to understand if there is any reasoning behind this name choice, meaning that I am missing something.
