 * 
 * srcStart  this array holds the coordinates of the
 *           first element of the new array. If this
 *           argument is NULL, the first element of src
 *           will be the first element of the new
 *           array. If non-NULL, this argument should
 *           be an array with an entry for each
 *           dimension of src.  If srcStart[i] is less
 *           than lower[i] for the array src, NULL will
 *           be returned.
 * 
 * srcStride this array lets you specify the stride
 *           between elements in each dimension of
 *           src. This stride is relative to the
 *           coordinate system of the src array. If
 *           this argument is NULL, the stride is taken
 *           to be one in each dimension.  If non-NULL,
 *           this argument should be an array with an
 *           entry for each dimension of src.
 * 
 * newLower  this argument is like lower in a create
 *           method. It sets the coordinates for the
 *           first element in the new array.  If this
 *           argument is NULL, the values indicated by
 *           srcStart will be used. If non-NULL, this
 *           should be an array with dimen elements.
