Slice Definition
Initially, TotalView selects the array slice by placing the appropriate array dimension as the row and the column, setting the indices for the lower and upper bounds of the dimensions with a stride of one. Any additional dimensions are held at 0. This is the slice or plane of data that is displayed in the table.
You have full control over all settings, including the ability to change which dimensions appear as rows and columns, as well as their indices and strides. As you change the row and column dimensions, the controls for the other dimensions are enabled/disabled accordingly. You can change the indices of the other dimensions to further refine the slice of data. The User Guide section Using Slices and Strides” provides more information on slicing arrays.
