Cactus Code Thorn PUGHSlab
Authors    : ...
CVS info   : $Header$
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Purpose of the thorn:

This thorn provides functionality to extract hyperslabs:
M-dimensional orthogonal subspaces from a given N-dimensional data space
(1 <= M <= N).

Input parameters are
  - the origin of the hyperslab in the data space,
  - the directions it spans, 
  - the extents of the hyperslab
  - downsampling values into each hyperslab dimension


2. Additional information

The term hyperslab and the functionality provided by this thorn are derived
from the HDF5 API (see http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/).

NOTE: the calling interface of PUGHSlab is going to change !
