hdf - Hierarchical Data Format library
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
HDF is a multi-object file format that facilitates the
|
|
transfer of various types of scientific data between
|
|
machines and operating systems. Machines currently sup-
|
|
ported include the Cray, Convex, HP, Vax, Sun, IBM
|
|
RS/6000, Silicon Graphics, Macintosh, and IBM PC comput-
|
|
ers. HDF allows self-definitions of data content and easy
|
|
extensibility for future enhancements or compatibility
|
|
with other standard formats. HDF includes Fortran and C
|
|
calling interfaces,and utilities to prepare raw image of
|
|
data files or for use with other NCSA software. The HDF
|
|
library contains interfaces for storing and retrieving
|
|
compressed or uncompressed 8-bit and 24-bit raster images
|
|
with palettes, n-Dimensional scientific datasets and
|
|
binary tables. An interface is also included that allows
|
|
arbitray grouping of other HDF objects.
