hdfread
2hdfread
Purpose Extract data from an HDF or HDF-EOS file
Syntax data = hdfread(filename, dataset)
data = hdfread(hinfo)
data = hdfread(...,param1,value1,param2,value2,...)
[data,map] = hdfread(...)
Description data = hdfread(filename, dataset) returns all the data in the
specified data set dataset from the HDF or HDF-EOS file filename. To
determine the names of the data sets in an HDF file, use the hdfinfo
function. The information returned by hdfinfo contains structures
describing the data sets contained in the file. You can extract one
of these structures and pass it directly to hdfread. Note hdfread
can be used on Version 4.x HDF files or Version 2.x HDF-EOS files.
Subsetting
Parameters
2-1038
data = hdfread(hinfo) returns all the data in the data set specified in the
structure hinfo. The hinfo structure can be extracted from the data returned
by the hdfinfo function.
data = hdfread(...,param1,value1,param2,value2,...) returns subsets
of the data according to the specified parameter and value pairs. See the tables
below to find the valid parameters and values for different types of data sets.
[data,map] = hdfread(...) returns the image data and the colormap map for
an 8-bit raster image.
The following tables show the subsetting parameters that can be used with the
hdfread function for certain types of HDF data. These data types are
HDF Scientific Data (SD)
HDF Vdata (V)
HDF-EOS Grid Data
HDF-EOS Point Data
HDF-EOS Swath Data
