45 * @brief Class defining multi-dimensional subset of an array.
46 *
47 * The slice class represents a multi-dimensional subset of an array,
48 * specified by three parameter sets: start offset, size array, and stride
49 * array. The start offset is the index of the first element of the array
50 * that is part of the subset. The size and stride array describe each
51 * dimension of the slice. Size is the number of elements in that
52 * dimension, and stride is the distance in the array between successive
53 * elements in that dimension. Each dimension's size and stride is taken
54 * to begin at an array element described by the previous dimension. The
55 * size array and stride array must be the same size.
56 *
57 * For example, if you have offset==3, stride[0]==11, size[1]==3,
58 * stride[1]==3, then slice[0,0]==array[3], slice[0,1]==array[6],
59 * slice[0,2]==array[9], slice[1,0]==array[14], slice[1,1]==array[17],
60 * slice[1,2]==array[20].
