PDL::IO::HDF5, version 0.63 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 NCSA's web site at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/ . 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 Installation: ------------ Installation should be the normal: perl Makefile.PL make make test (as root) make install Acknowledgements ---------------- Tbe idea for this module is based on the code of Doug Hunt's PDL::netCDF module.
