Plus testing has shown that sometimes (like with a tif stack) images come in as many separate planes of data.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I see that you have MDArrays in your libraries. And that they are associated with a Group. Do you have something like gdal.Open() that opens data file(s) as a Group? That way I could then open one or more MDArrays into my n-dimensional structures from the Group in a more direct fashion than the Dataset way. Can you advise me on how to proceed?
