HDF is a multi-object file format that facilitates the transfer of
|
|
various types of scientific data between machines and operating
|
|
systems. 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.
