What I meant was: reading "a_name" and "b_name" together into a new "variable" with size of 16 bits. This new variable being "a_name << 8 | b_name". But according to your answer, it doesn't seem to be possible as it is not how H5D reads internally.
So, as an alternative, is there any way to create a new dataset with "a_name" and "c_name" without having to copy data from DS1 to DS2 ? So that DS2 would use data from DS1 ? -- View this message in context: http://hdf-forum.184993.n3.nabble.com/Hyperslab-selection-of-compound-dataset-tp3379104p3379425.html Sent from the hdf-forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion.
