Class Description Data Members Methods
h5string
Associates a name
with a text string
and provides
optional padding
behavior
Data –
Multidimensional
array
Name –Textstring
specifying name
of the object
Length –
Scalar defining
length of string
Padding –Type
of padding to use:
'spacepad'
'nullterm'
'nullpad'
str = hdf5.h5string creates
an h5string object.
str = hdf5.h5string(data)
creates an h5string object, where
data is a text string.
str = hdf5.h5string(data,
padtype) creates an
h5stringobject, where
data is a text string and
padtype specifies the
type of padding to use.
setData(str, data)
sets the value of the object’s
Data member, where str
is an h5string object
anddata is a text string.
setLength(str,
lenVal) sets the value of the
object’s Length member, where
str is an h5string object
and lenVal is a scalar.
setName(str, name)
sets the value of the object’s
Name member, where str is
an h5string object and name
is a string or cell array.
setPadding(str,
padType) specifies the value of the
object’s Padding member, where
str is an h5string object and
padType is a text string specifying
one of the supported pad types.
h5vlen
Associates a name
with an array
Data –
Multidimensional
array
Name –Textstring
V = hdf5.h5vlen creates
an h5array object.
V = hdf5.h5vlen(data)creates
an h5array object, where
