I don't think this can be done. At least not the way
you want it to work. You could use a second associated
variable on the same data file to get the "chunk" of
data, I suppose. But I'm not sure there are too many
advantages. Something like this...
Suppose we open the 64-by-64-by-15 abnorm.dat byte
array found in the IDL_DIR/examples/data directory. We
could do this:
file = Filepath(SubDir=['examples','data'], 'abnorm.dat')
OPENR, lun, file, /Get_Lun
a = Assoc(lun, BytArr(64, 64))
TV, a[4]
Now get the range a[5:8] by doing this:
b = Assoc(lun, BytArr(64, 64, 4), 64*64*5)
FOR j=0,3 DO TV, (b[0])[*,*,j], j
I don't know. I don't see too many applications right
off hand. :-(
Cheers,
David
