Hello, I just started looking at PyTables for a project, and am looking for some advice.
Problem in brief - * I have a variety of medical (brain) imaging datasets that I need to store. This includes things like arbitrary selections of some region of the data (e.g. a list of 3-number indices into a volume). * These indices are inherently variable length - users might specify many or few indices * Other pieces of data that go with would fit easily into fixed-length records in a Table Possible solutions - * I have seen talk (in 2004!) of a VLTable class, which would do exactly what I'd like. Is this in the works? * I could have a separate table for fixed-length records and an associated VLArray, and just make sure I'm careful. * Maybe I could have all of my strings (e.g. 10 strings all probably < 50 chars) be metadata on the Atoms of a VLArray - this seems a little confusing, and probably not as efficient... Any advice on this would be great!
