spacepy.datamodel.fromHDF5¶
- spacepy.datamodel.fromHDF5(fname, **kwargs)[source]¶
Create a SpacePy datamodel representation of an HDF5 file or netCDF4 file which is HDF5 compliant
- Parameters:
- filestring
the name of the HDF5/netCDF4 file to be loaded into a datamodel
- Returns:
- outspacepy.datamodel.SpaceData
SpaceData with associated attributes and variables in dmarrays
Notes
Zero-sized datasets will break in h5py. This is kluged by returning a dmarray containing a None.
This function is expected to work with any HDF5-compliant files, including netCDF4 (not netCDF3) and MatLab save files from v7.3 or later, but some datatypes are not supported, e.g., non-string vlen datatypes, and will raise a warning.
Examples
>>> import spacepy.datamodel as dm >>> data = dm.fromHDF5('test.hdf')
