I'm adding enumeration type attributes to datasets now, and the code executes ok, but when I look at the file/dataset in HDFView (2.9) the attribute shows up as its numeric value not it's Enumeration. I don't see this problem with enumerations in datasets.
Is this an HDFView limitation/bug or is the problem in the HDF libraries?
I've attached a test file, the file has an "Enum" attribute it should be "TWO", but shows up as the numeric value "2". From the enumeration:
public enum Numbers { ONE = 1, TWO = 2, THREE = 3, FOUR = 4 };

Hi Scott,
Thank you for reporting the issue.
This is an HDFView limitation.
We provide an option to show enum datasets in values or names but
We do not have such an option for attributes (a little more complicated).
We will add this enhancement to our jira database.
Thanks
