## Class SliceND

- java.lang.Object
- - org.eclipse.january.dataset.SliceND

-     public class SliceND
      extends Object

  The `SliceND` class represents a slice through all dimensions of a multi-dimensional `Dataset`.
  A slice comprises a starting position array, a stopping position array (not included) and a stepping size array.
  If a maximum shape is specified, slicing past the original shape is supported for positive steps otherwise it is ignored. With unlimited dimensions, extending past the original shape is only allowed if the stopping value is given.
