Hierarchical Data Format (HDF5) Files
toplevel =
Filename: 'C:\matlab\toolbox\matlab\demos\example.h5'
Name: '/'
Groups: [1x2 struct]
Datasets: []
Datatypes: []
Links: []
Attributes: [1x2 struct]
By looking at the Groups and Attributes fields, you can see that the file
contains two groups and two attributes. The Datasets, Datatypes, andLinks
fields are all empty, indicating that the root group does not contain any data
sets,datatypes,orlinks.
The following figure illustrates the organization of the root group in the
sample HDF5 file example.h5.
Organization of the Root Group of the Sample HDF5 File
To explore the contents of the sample HDF5 file further, examine one of the
two structures in the Groups field of the GroupHierarchy structure. Each
structure in this field represents a group contained in the root group. The
following example shows the contents of the second structure in this field.
level2 = toplevel.Groups(2)
level2 =
Filename: 'C:\matlab\toolbox\matlab\demos\example.h5'
Name: '/g2'
