Hi, I'm also interested in hearing how HDF users deal with this kind of data with existing tools.
By the way, what's your domain that needs resizing data with varying dimensions (e.g., Earth science / Finance / Machine Learning / Life science)? I'm asking this because what kind sensor or software that you have generates such arrays with variable size data and how your existing solution manages them. I'd appreciate if you can give a specific example problem with some sample data. -- HDF: Software that Powers Science On Wed, May 8, 2013 at 4:00 AM, Roel Vanhout <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > Apologies if this is a question with an obvious answer, I've searched the > web and archives long and hard and couldn't find an answer. > > I'm looking to replace some of the data files of our software with hdf5 to > make it easier to edit them with external tools.
