Hi, Resurrecting this thread: http://mail.lists.hdfgroup.org/pipermail/hdf-forum_lists.hdfgroup.org/2012-November/006206.html
Although the original author mentions bits, he means bytes. It's a regular thing that images have a row of bytes referred to as a line to ensure alignment of each pixel row. This usually is padded with up to 15 bytes. As the original author indicates numerous libraries do this. From image IO (libtiff: scanline) to image processing libraries like opencv/ipp (step). However HDF only likes packed arrays and doesn't really deal with this notion of storage. So how can we make it deal with it not in terms of the data space but in terms of something some detail to this particular memory buffer? Copying images to packed format is an ugly and non-optimal solution; a bunch of write calls isn't great either. Regards, -Jason
