Hi, I am moving from NetCDF to HDF5. In NetCDF, I can assign attributes to each variable/column. That is very useful for self-documenting the file like this:
double AVHRR_LONG(Collocations) ; AVHRR_LONG:long_name = "AVHRR Longitude" ; AVHRR_LONG:units = "degrees_east" ; AVHRR_LONG:valid_range = -180., 180. ; I know that in HDF5, I can assign attributes to each node. But I think the columns of a table are not nodes. Is there an equivalent in HDF5 to NetCDF's variable attributes? How would I use this in pytables? regards, Gerrit. -- Gerrit Holl PhD student at Department of Space Science, LuleƄ University of Technology, Kiruna, Sweden http://www.sat.ltu.se/members/gerrit/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
