-<H2>Creating an Extendible Dataset</H2>
-An extendible dataset is one whose dimensions can grow.
-HDF5 allows you to define a dataset to have certain initial dimensions,
-then to later increase the size of any of the initial dimensions.
-<P>
-HDF5 requires you to use chunking to define extendible datasets.
-This makes it possible to extend datasets efficiently without
-having to excessively reorganize storage.
-<P>
-The following operations are required in order to write an extendible dataset:
-<OL>
- <LI>Declare the dataspace of the dataset to have unlimited dimensions for all dimensions that might eventually be extended.
- <LI>Set dataset creation properties to enable chunking.
- <LI>Create the dataset.
- <LI>Extend the size of the dataset.
-</OL>
-<H2> Programming Example</H2>
-<A NAME="desc">
-<H3><U>Description</U></H3>
-This example shows how to create a 3 x 3 extendible dataset, write to that
-dataset, extend the dataset to 10x3, and write to the dataset again.
