On page 39 I also see a line item `205` for `selection` that shows the option `points` as input to a selection, but no further description of this is in the document. \r\n\r\nI have two questions for you, I would really appreciate your help:\r\n\r\n1) Is it possible to use the HDF5 server to make a selection based on a set of input points?\r\n2) If it is, is this as quick or quicker than making several calls for rectangles instead? If the point method is much slower, I can split my selection into rectangles first and use the regular selection method instead.\r\n\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/HDFGroup/h5serv/issues/comments/188557701","html_url":"https://github.com/HDFGroup/h5serv/issues/78#issuecomment-188557701","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/HDFGroup/h5serv/issues/78","id":188557701,"user":{"login":"jreadey","id":7785492,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7785492?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey","html_url":"https://github.com/jreadey","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-25T01:52:29Z","updated_at":"2016-02-25T01:52:29Z","body":"Closing this since it looks like there's nothing needed on my side.
