<h1><a class="anchor" id="secLBExtDsetCreate"></a>
Creating an Extendible Dataset</h1>
<p>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>
<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. (To use chunking efficiently, be sure to see the advanced topic, <a href="https://confluence.hdfgroup.org/display/HDF5/Chunking+in+HDF5">Chunking in HDF5</a>.)</p>
<p>The following operations are required in order to extend a dataset: </p><ul>
<li>Declare the dataspace of the dataset to have unlimited dimensions for all dimensions that might eventually be extended. </li>
<li>Set dataset creation properties to enable chunking. </li>
<li>Create the dataset. </li>
<li>Extend the size of the dataset.</li>
</ul>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="secLBExtDsetProg"></a>
Programming Example</h1>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="subsecLBExtDsetProgDesc"></a>
Description</h2>
<p>See <a class="el" href="_l_b_examples.html">Examples from Learning the Basics</a> for the examples used in the <a class="el" href="_learn_basics.html">Learning the Basics</a> tutorial.</p>
<p>The 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.</p>

<h2><a class="anchor" id="subsecLBExtDsetProgRem"></a>
Remarks</h2>
<ul>
<li>An unlimited dimension dataspace is specified with the <a class="el" href="group___h5_s.html#ga8e35eea5738b4805856eac7d595254ae" title="Creates a new simple dataspace and opens it for access.">H5Screate_simple</a> call, by passing in <a class="el" href="_h5_spublic_8h.html#a5af9ab788797b2ea9a4843857674ac18">H5S_UNLIMITED</a> as an element of the maxdims array. </li>
<li>The <a class="el" href="group___p_l_c_r.html#gaf1b11da01d4d45d788c45f8bc5f0cbfa" title="Creates a new property list as an instance of a property list class.">H5Pcreate</a> call creates a new property as an instance of a property list class. For creating an extendible array dataset, pass in <a class="el" href="_h5_ppublic_8h.html#afcd7f8186c404f3a1d768632eacba102">H5P_DATASET_CREATE</a> for the property list class. </li>

<li>To extend an unlimited dimension dataset use the <a class="el" href="group___h5_d.html#gad31e1e0129f4520c531ce524de2a056f" title="Changes the sizes of a dataset's dimensions.">H5Dset_extent</a> call. Please be aware that after this call, the dataset's dataspace must be refreshed with <a class="el" href="group___h5_d.html#gad42a46be153d895d8c28a11ebf5a0d0a" title="Returns an identifier for a copy of the dataspace for a dataset.">H5Dget_space</a> before more data can be accessed. </li>
