Hi Werner, thanks for the reply. Let's wrestle with this a bit. So numpy does their indexing by strides, the stride for each dimension. hdf5 does their "striding" across the data in the sense of more of a selection than a stride. I would be inclined to say that even a negative stride wouldnt allow this. The problem is the stride is a simply stride and not one based on dimension index so the stride can't wrap so you end up with out of bounds issues with the datasets. Does this seem right?
