<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 2-D array in a file and stored in the corner of a smaller 2-D array in memory. In (b) a regular series of blocks is read from a 2-D array in the file and stored as a contiguous sequence of values at a certain offset in a 1-D array in memory. In (c) a sequence of points with no regular pattern is read from a 2-D array in a file and stored as a sequence of points with no regular pattern in a 3-D 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).
