The MATLAB software provides a set of low-level functions that enable you to access the HDF4 library developed by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). For information about HDF4, go to the HDF Web page at http://www.hdfgroup.org.
Note For information about MATLAB HDF5 capabilities, which is a completely separate, incompatible format, see hdf5. |
The following table lists all the HDF4 application programming interfaces (APIs) supported by MATLAB with the name of the MATLAB function used to access the API. To use these functions, you must be familiar with the HDF library. For more information about using these MATLAB functions, see Working with Scientific Data Formats.
Application Programming Interface | Description | MATLAB Function |
|---|---|---|
Annotations | Stores, manages, and retrieves text used to describe an HDF file or any of the data structures contained in the file. | hdfan |
General Raster Images | Stores, manages, and retrieves raster images, their dimensions and palettes. It can also manipulate unattached palettes. Note: Use the MATLAB functions imread and imwrite with HDF raster image formats. | hdfdf24, hdfdfr8 |
HDF-EOS | Provides functions to read HDF-EOS grid (GD), point (PT), and swath (SW) data. | hdfgd, hdfpt, hdfsw |
HDF Utilities | Provides functions to open and close HDF files and handle errors. | |
MATLAB HDF Utilities | Provides utility functions that help you work with HDF files in the MATLAB environment. | |
Scientific Data | Stores, manages, and retrieves multidimensional arrays of character or numeric data, along with their dimensions and attributes. | hdfsd |
V Groups | Creates and retrieves groups of other HDF data objects, such as raster images or V data. | hdfv |
V Data | Stores, manages, and retrieves multivariate data stored as records in a table. |
