Purpose:
new features
Description:
1. add an option to convert HDF4 file without HDF4 specified attributes such as
HDF4_OBJECT_TYPE, HDF4_REF_NUM etc.
it can be done by inputting "h4toh5 -na input.hdf"
The default converter will still keep HDF4 specfied attributes.
2. Add compression features (gzip) for image too. Now the compressed HDF4 image
can be supported by using HDF5 gzip. Not sure whether tools can read it. Need to be tested.
3. Change SPACEPAD to NULLTERM for HDF4 dimensional name list. We can use variable length HDF5 string to represent these names, however currently H5dump and H5view cannot support variable length HDF5 string. converter will wait for other tools' update.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
eirene(Red Hat 6.2) and arabica(solaris 2.7)
Purpose:
a bug fix
Description:
User can define "Real Vdata" as user-defined attribute. By using VSisattr, we can check this out. In order to keep this piece of information, We use "Vdata attribute" in the converted HDF5 file to distingush this kind of Vdata from independent Vdata.
Solution:
see above
Platforms tested:
eirene(Linux)
