PDL::IO::HDF5
From The Man Pages:
-------------------
NAME
PDL::IO::HDF5 - PDL Interface to the HDF5 Data Format.
DESCRIPTION
This package provides an object-oriented interface for the
PDL package to the HDF5 data-format. Information on the
HDF5 Format can be found at the HDF Group's web site at
http://www.hdfgroup.org/ .
LIMITATIONS
Currently this interface only provides a subset of the total
HDF5 library's capability.
o Only HDF5 Simple datatypes are supported. No HDF5 Compound
datatypes are supported since PDL doesn't support them.
o Only HDF5 Simple dataspaces are supported.
Also Included:
--------------
An experimental module for interactive viewing of HDF5 files
using perl/Tk is also included. The file tkviewtest is a short
demo of this capability.
The following are required for installation:
--------------------------------------------
-- PDL v2.004
-- HDF5 version 1.2.0 or greater
Installation:
------------
Installation should be the normal:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
(as root)
make install
Acknowledgements
----------------
The idea for this module is based on the code of Doug Hunt's PDL::netCDF module.
