Write raster image using HDF5dotNet

Hdf-forum archives
1

Hello.

I have matrix of grayscale pixels (8, 12 or 16 bits per pixel).
Now I can save it to HDF5 using HDF5dotNet as dataset with rank 2.
How may I save it as raster image? To view image in HDFView.

And my second question: now I can write an entire dataset (an entire matrix).
How may I write and read only one of matrix's row or column? Or change one
element of matrix dataset?

Thank you.

Pavel, how are you?

Ad 1.

Have a look at the HDF5 Image spec
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/ADGuide/ImageSpec.html .
You'll need a few additional attributes (e.g., CLASS, IMAGE_SUBCLASS) to
convince HDFView
that it's dealing with an image. (I can send you an example next week if you
can't sort it out.)

Ad 2.

Have a look at sections 4 and 6 of the User's Guide
(http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/UG/index.html).
Using the current version of the HDFDotNet wrapper you can select a
hyperslab (or unions).
You'll be able to select points (elements) in the next drop of the HDFDotNet
wrapper.

Best, G.

Hi All,

Pavel, how are you?

convince HDFView
that it's dealing with an image. (I can send you an example next week if you
can't sort it out.)

When a dataset doesn't have those attributes, one can use an Image View in HDFView to display data as an image: right click on the dataset in the Tree Window, then choose "Open As", and then choose Image in the "Data Selection" Window.
