Yes, the ::1 indicates the contiguous dimension, and can only be used in the first and last places.

Thanks! I'm not sure I understand your last question correctly, I want to write a function that can take an array of any dimension. From your response I'm guessing the best way is to write a wrapper in Python and write a Cython function that takes a 1D array and a shape tuple?
