# MLCSliceLayer

A layer that extracts a slice from a tensor.

## Declaration

```swift
class MLCSliceLayer
```

## Overview

Overview The framework supports positive stride. Use a slice layer to slice a given source. Slicing won’t decrease the tensor dimension. The start, end, and stride vectors must be of the same size, equal to the source tensor dimension.
