Two questions:
1) Do any (more recent) versions of hdfview show external links?
2) Is there a way to create a compressed rectilinear (Cartesian) grid? I
would like to be able to just specify 3 1-D arrays for each edge of my 3D
cartesian grid, and then create something that looks like a 3D dataset but
where x(:,j/=1,k/=1) points to x(:,1,1). (The reason for this is I would
like to be able to read our grid file directly into Tecplot 360 without
wasting tons of disk space. The simulation can use the 1-D arrays without
any issues.)
Thanks,
Izaak Beekman

Two questions:

External links in HDFView is just like other links (soft links or hard links). You will see the
object a link points to. You can look at the information of the link from the property view.
2) Is there a way to create a compressed rectilinear (Cartesian) grid? I would like to be able to just specify 3 1-D arrays for each edge of my 3D cartesian grid, and then create something that looks like a 3D dataset but where x(:,j/=1,k/=1) points to x(:,1,1). (The reason for this is I would like to be able to read our grid file directly into Tecplot 360 without wasting tons of disk space. The simulation can use the 1-D arrays without any issues.)
I do not fully understand the issue. Others may be able to help?

Hmm, yes, I don't understand the notation being used here... Izaak, can you expand a bit more for us Tecplot laymen?
The question would be: what kind of HDF5 data layout can Tecplot 360 read?
Technically, you can store a rectilinear grid in HDF5 via three 1D arrays,
but what does it take to make Tecplot read it?
The HDF5 dimensions scale API is something similar to a rectilinear grid,
as it allows dimensions given in one dataset to be attached to another one:
