Request to post a new topic in the hdf-forum.

Hello,
Imagine two datasets A and B.
I'd like to add values in dataset A, and then create dataset B to only
display a subset of the values in dataset A.
Is this possible ? Dataset B would only be a "view" displaying specific
parts of dataset A (eg. the three first points and the three last points in
A). Opening it in HDFView should be transparent.

In the online documentation, some features seem close but none seems to
match exactly:
- Regions for example at first were promizing, but it seems more like a
mechanism to memorize data selections on datasets, and there seems to be no
means of creating a dataset that will actually display that region of the
other dataset specifically,
- Virtual Datasets were interesting too, but these seem to work with
different files, when in our case it must work within one single file.

Anyone knows of a feature that could help ?

Thanks,
hdfuser

Virtual datasets can work within the same file and should be what you need.
