MATLAB Programming

7 Working with Scientific Data Formats
To access the data in the data set in the MATLAB workspace, you must access
the Data field in the object.
This example converts a simple MATLAB vector into an h5array object and
then displays the fields in the object:
vec = [ 1 2 3];
hhh = hdf5.h5array(vec);
hhh:
Name: ''
Data: [1 2 3]
hhh.Data
ans =
1 2 3
Examples of Using the MATLAB HDF5 Data Type Objects. This example
uses an HDF5 enumeration object for enumerated data:
1 Create an HDF5 enumerated object.
enum_obj = hdf5.h5enum;
2 Define the enumerated values and their corresponding names.
enum_obj.defineEnum({'RED' 'GREEN' 'BLUE'}, uint8([1 2 3]));
enum_obj now contains the definition of the enumeration that associates
the names RED, GREEN, andBLUE with the numbers 1, 2, and 3.
3 Add enumerated data to the object.
enum_obj.setData(uint8([2 1 3 3 2 3 2 1]));
In the HDF5 file, these numeric values map to the enumerated values
GREEN, RED, BLUE, BLUE, GREEN, etc.
