</CODE><H4><A NAME="_Toc429885316">Reading and writing a portion of a dataset</A></H4>
<P>In the previous discussion, we describe how to access an entire dataset with one write (or read) operation. HDF5 also supports access to portions (or selections) of a dataset in one read/write operation. Currently selections are limited to hyperslabs and the lists of independent points. Both types of selection will be discussed in the following sections. Several sample cases of selection reading/writing are shown on the following figure.

</B><P>In example (a) a single hyperslab is read from the midst of a two-dimensional array in a file and stored in the corner of a smaller two-dimensional array in memory. In (b) a regular series of blocks is read from a two-dimensional array in the file and stored as a contiguous sequence of values at a certain offset in a one-dimensional array in memory. In (c) a sequence of points with no regular pattern is read from a two-dimensional array in a file and stored as a sequence of points with no regular pattern in a three-dimensional array in memory.
<P>As these examples illustrate, whenever we perform partial read/write operations on the data, the following information must be provided: file dataspace, file dataspace selection, memory dataspace and memory dataspace selection. After the required information is specified, actual read/write operation on the portion of data is done in a single call to the HDF5 read/write functions H5Dread(write).

+</font>
+The HDF5 Library allows the user to select a union of hyperslabs and
+write or read the selection into another selection. The shapes of
+the two selections may differ, but the number of elements must be equal.
+<p>
+Suppose that we want to read two overlapping hyperslabs from the dataset
+written in the previous example into a union of hyperslabs in the memory
+dataset. This exercise is illustrated in the two figures immediately below.
+Note that the memory dataset has a different shape from the previously
+written dataset. Similarly, the selection in the memory dataset
+could have a different shape than the selected union of hyperslabs in
+the original file; for simplicity, we will preserve the selection's shape
+in this example.
