MATLAB: Any alternatives to HDFView software

hdf viewerMATLAB

Hello,

Are there any other sources of an HDF viewer software other than HDFView from The HDF Group? In particular, one that is installed via a .exe file rather than a .msi file.

I had been using HDFView, but our new IT Group Policy prevents us from installing .msi files (the HDFView installer is a .msi file).

I realize that Matlab has the h5info function, which is helpful, but not as useful as HDFView for viewing the contents of an h5 file.

From my understanding you want to view contents from a h5 file. Please refer h5disp.

MATLAB: How to make array from characters from variables

Create a cell array out of the character array:

c = cellstr(val);

Then, each cell element is a string that can be used:

c{1}

for example, is the first string. (Notice the use of curly brackets there.) You can read more about the use of cell array in the documentation.

Use Low-Level Functions such as H5G.create to create custom/nested groups.

Example:

>> fid = H5F.create('myfile.h5');
>> plist = 'H5P_DEFAULT';
>> gid = H5G.create(fid,'my_group',plist,plist,plist);
>> gid2 = H5G.create(fid,'my_group2',plist,plist,plist);
>> gid1 = H5G.create(gid,'my_group_nested',plist,plist,plist);
>> H5G.close(gid1);
>> H5G.close(gid2);
>> H5G.close(gid);
>> H5F.close(fid);
>> h5disp('myfile.h5')
HDF5 myfile.h5 
Group '/' 
  Group '/my_group' 
      Group '/my_group/my_group_nested' 
  Group '/my_group2'
