[Pytables-users] Suggestions for storing mutlidimensionnal data in several pytables arrays

[<phi...@ho...>]

Hi Francesc and all others pytables users/developpers,

I have structured data: atmospheric pressure which depends from 
latitute, longitude and time.
The problem is i can't use pytables Table due to the application 
capabilities involved to manage the file.

The unique solution i have is to store each data in an array (pressure 
is a multidimensionnal array, time is an array, longitude is an array 
and latitude is an array).

Then i have to use a specific attributes to retrieve the right 
assiocation between parameters and pressure.

1. Is there a possibility to put a multidimensionnal attributes, which 
can consist in the list containing the path of the parameters 
([/longitude,/latitute,/time]) ?
So i know the first dimension of the pressure array is the longitude, 
the second the latitude, the third the time and the last one the values 
of the pressure.

I know there were a discussion and a patch about this but i don't know 
how to use it.

2. Would it be out of context to think about a standard way to link 
inside pytables, the dimension of a multidimensionnal array to the array 
defining the parameters values comparably to Netcdf ?

Thanks a lot for your answers,
regards,
