Class Description Data Members Methods
h5compound
Associates a name
with a structure;
you can define the
field names in the
structure and their
values
Data –
Multidimensional
array
Name –Textstring
specifying name
of the object
MemberNames –Text
strings specifying
name of the object
C = hdf5.h5compound creates
an h5compound object.
C =
hdf5.h5compound(n1,n2,...)
creates an h5compound object,
where n1, n2 and so on are
text strings that specify field
names. The constructor creates
a corresponding data field
for every member name.
addMember(C, mName)
creates a new field in the
object C. mName specifies
the name of the field.
setMember(C, mName,
mData) sets the value of the
Data element associated with
the field specified by mName,
where C is an h5compound object
and mData can be numeric
or an HDF5 data type.
setMemberNames(C, n1,
n2,...) specifies the names of
fields in the structure, where C is
an h5compound object and n1,n2,
and so on are text strings that
specify field names. The method
creates a corresponding data field
for every name specified.
setName(C, name) sets
the value of the Name member,
where C is an h5compound object
and name is a string or cell array.
