|
Purpose
|
Appends a scientific dataset in its entirety to an existing HDF file if the file exists. If not, a new file is created.
|
|
Return value
|
Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
|
|
Description
|
In addition to appending a multidimensional array of data to an HDF file, DFSDadddata automatically stores any information pertinent to the dataset. It will not overwrite existing data in the file. The array data can be of any valid type. However, if no data type has been set by DFSDsetNT, it is assumed that the data is of type float32.
|
|
|
Calling DFSDadddata will write the scientific dataset and all associated information. That is, when DFSDadddata is called, any information set by a DFSDset* call is written to the file, along with the data array itself.

|
|
Description
|
DFSDendslice must be called after all the slices are written. It checks to ensure that the entire dataset has been written, and if it has not, returns an error code. DFSDendslice is obsolete in favor of DFSDendslab. DFSDendslab is the recommended function call to use when terminating hyperslab (previously known as data slices) operations. HDF will continue to support DFSDendslice only to maintain backward compatibility with earlier versions of the library.

|
Purpose
|
Retrieves the calibration record, if there is one, attached to a scientific dataset.
|
|
Return value
|
Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
|
|
Description
|
A calibration record contains four 64-bit floating point values followed by a 32-bit integer.
|
|
|
The relationship between a value iy stored in a dataset and the actual value y is defined as:
|
|
|
y = cal * (iy - offset)
|
|
|
The variable offset_err contains a potential error of offset, and cal_err contains a potential error of cal. Currently the calibration record is provided for information only. The SD interface performs no operations on the data based on the calibration tag.
|
|
|
As an example, suppose the values in the calibrated dataset iy[] are the following integers:
|
|
|
iy[6] = {2, 4, 5, 11, 26, 81}
|
|
|
By defining cal = 0.50 and offset = -200.0 and applying the calibration formula, the calibrated dataset iy[] returns to its original form as a floating point array:
|
|
|
y[6] = {1001.0, 1002.0, 1002.5, 1005.5, 1013.0,1040.5}

|
|
Return value
|
Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
|
|
Description
|
If the values of rank or dimsizes aren't known, DFSDgetdims must be called to retrieve them and then use them to determine the buffer space needed for the array data. If the data type of the data in a scientific dataset isn't know, DFSDgetNT must be called to retrieve it. Subsequent calls to DFSDgetdata (or to DFSDgetdims and DFSDgetdata)will sequentially read scientific datasets from the file. For example, if DFSDgetdata is called three times in succession, the third call reads data from the third scientific dataset in the file.
|
|
|
If DFSDgetdims or DFSDgetdata is called and there are no more scientific datasets left in the file, an error code is returned and nothing is read. DFSDrestart can be used to override this convention.

|
Return value
|
Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
|
|
Description
|
The max and min values are set via a call to DFSDsetrange. They are not automatically stored when a dataset is written to a file. The data type of these values is the data type of the dataset array. One implication of this is that in the C version of DFSDgetrange the arguments are pointers, rather than simple variables, whereas in the FORTRAN-77 version they are simple variables of the same type as the data array.
|
|
|
Neither DFSDgetrange nor DFSDgetdata compare the max and min values stored with the dataset to the actual values in the dataset; they merely retrieve the data. As a result, the maximum and minimum values may not always reflect the actual maximum and minimum values in the dataset. In some cases the max and min values may actually lie outside the range of values in the dataset.

|
|
Description
|
DFSDgetslice accesses the dataset last accessed by DFSDgetdims. If DFSDgetdims has not been called for the named file, DFSDgetslice gets a slice from the next dataset in the file. Array winst specifies the coordinates of the start of the slice. Array windims gives the size of the slice. The number of elements in winst and windims must be equal to the rank of the dataset. For example, if the file contains a three-dimensional dataset, winst may contain the values {2, 4, 3}, while windims contains the values {3, 1, 4} and the dims should be at least {3, 1, 4}, the same size as the slice. This will extract a 3 x 4, two-dimensional slice, containing the elements between (2, 4, 3) and (4, 4, 6) from the original dataset.
|
|
|
The data array is the array into which the slice is read. It must be at least as big as the desired slice. The dims array is the array containing the actual dimensions of the array data. The user assigns values to dims before calling DFSDgetslice.
|
|
|
All parameters assume FORTRAN-77-style one-based arrays.

DFSDgetslice is obsolete in favor of DFSDreadslab. DFSDreadslab is the recommended function call to use when reading hyperslabs (previously known as data slices).

Description
|
DFSDputslice read a subset of an array in memory and stores it as part of the scientific dataset array last specified by DFSDsetdims. Slices must be stored contiguously.
|
|
|
Array windims ("window dimensions") specifies the size of the slice to be written. The windims array must contain as many elements as there are dimensions in the entire scientific dataset array. The source argument is an array in memory containing the slice and dims is an array containing the dimensions of the array source.
|
|
|
Notice that windims and dims need not be the same. The windims argument could refer to a sub-array of source, in which case only a portion of source is written to the scientific data array.

Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
|
|
Description
|
DFSDreadslab will access to the scientific dataset following the current one if DFSDgetdims or DFSDgetdata are not called earlier. The start array indices are one-based. The rank of start must be the same as the number of dimensions of the specified variable. The elements of slab_size must be no larger than the dimensions of the scientific dataset in order. The stride feature is not currently implemented. For now just pass the start array as the argument for stride where it will be ignored.
|
|
|
To extract a slab of lower dimension than that of the dataset, enter 1 in the slab_size array for each omitted dimension. For example, to extract a two-dimensional slab from a three-dimensional dataset, specify the beginning coordinates in three dimensions and enter a 1 for the missing dimension in the slab_size array. More specifically, to extract a 3 x 4 slab containing the elements (6, 7, 8) through (8, 7, 11) specify the beginning coordinates as {6, 7, 8} and the slab size as {3, 1, 4}.

Data type of uncalibrated data
|
|
Purpose
|
Sets the calibration information associated with data
|
|
Return value
|
Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
|
|
Description
|
This routine sets the calibration record associated with a dataset. A calibration record contains four 64-bit floating point values followed by a 32-bit integer, to be interpreted as follows:
|
|
|
cal calibration factor
cal_err calibration error
offset uncalibrated offset
offset_err uncalibrated offset error
data_type data type of uncalibrated data
|
|
|
The relationship between a value iy stored in a dataset and the actual value y is defined as:
|
|
|
y = cal * (iy - offset)
|
|
|
The variable offset_err contains a potential error of offset, and cal_err contains a potential error of cal. Currently the calibration record is provided for information only. The SD interface performs no operations on the data based on the calibration tag.
|
|
|
DFSDsetcal works like other DFSDset* routines, with one exception: the calibration information is automatically cleared after a call to DFSDputdata or DFSDadddata. Hence, DFSDsetcal must be called again for each dataset that is to be written.
|
|
|
As an example, suppose the values in a dataset y[] are as follows:
|
|
|
y[6]={1001.0, 1002.0, 1002.5, 1005.5, 1013.0, 1040.5}
|
|
|
By defining cal = 0.50 and offset = -200.0 and applying the calibration formula, the calibrated dataset iy[] becomes as follows:
|
|
|
iy[6]={2, 4, 5, 11, 26, 81}
|
|
|
The array iy[] can then be stored as integers.

Description
|
This routine must be called before calling either DFSDsetdimstrs or DFSDsetdimscale. DFSDsetdims need not be called if other set routines are not called and the correct dimensions are supplied in DFSDputdata or DFSDadddata.
|
|
|
If the rank or dimension sizes change, all previous set calls are cleared, except for the data type, which is set by calling DFSDsetNT.

Description
|
A scale is a one-dimensional array whose values describe reference points along one dimension of the dataset. For example, a two-dimensional dataset representing points on a map could have two scales, one representing points of latitude, and the other points of longitude.

|
|
Description
|
In both FORTRAN-77 and C programs, dim = 1 for the first dimension, and dim = 2 for the second dimension. If the user is not interested in one or more strings, empty strings can be used as parameters for the DFSDsetdimstrs call. For example, DFSDsetdimstrs(1, "vertical", " ", " ") will set the label for the first dimension to "vertical" and set the unit and format to empty strings.

Purpose
|
Set the value used to fill in any unwritten location in a scientific dataset.
|
|
Return value
|
Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
|
|
Description
|
It is assumed that the fill value has the same data type as the dataset. Once the fill value is set for a particular SDS, it cannot be changed.
|
|
|
If DFSDsetfillvalue is called before the first call to DFSDstartslab, DFSDstartslab will set the fill value tag attribute to the value specified in the DFSDsetfillvalue call, but will not actually write out the fill value when DFSDwriteslab is called. However, if DFSDsetfillvalue is called after the first call the DFSDstartslab, the fill value tag attribute will be set by DFSDsetfillvalue and the fill value will be written to the slab during the DFSDwriteslab call.

Description
|
DFSDsetNT must be called if a data type other than float32 is to be stored. DFSDsetNT and DFSDsetdims can be called in any order, but they should be called before any other DFSDset* functions and before DFSDputdata or DFSDadddata.

|
|
Purpose
|
Stores the specified maximum and minimum data values.
|
|
Return value
|
Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
|
|
Description
|
It is assumed that the data type of max and min is the same as the type of the data. One implication of this is that in the C version of DFSDsetrange the arguments are pointers, rather than simple variables, whereas in the FORTRAN-77 version they are simple variables of the same type as the data array.
|
|
|
This routine does not compute the maximum and minimum values; it merely stores the values it is given. As a result, the maximum and minimum values may not always reflect the actual maximum and minimum values in the data array.
|
|
|
When the maximum and minimum values are written to a file, the HDF element that holds these values is cleared, because it is assumed that subsequent datasets will have different values for max and min.

|
Return value
|
Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.

|
Description
|
Before calling DFSDstartslice, DFSDsetdims must be called to specify the dimensions of the dataset to be written to the file. DFSDstartslice always appends a new dataset to an existing file.
|
|
|
Also, DFSDstartslice must be called before DFSDputslice or DFSDendslice.
|
|
|
DFSDstartslice is obsolete in favor of DFSDstartslab. DFSDstartslab is the recommended function call to use when beginning hyperslab operations. HDF will continue to support DFSDstartslice only to maintain backward compatibility earlier versions of the library.

Description
|
DFSDwriteref verifies the refence number's existence before returning. If a non-existent reference number is specified, an error code will be returned.

Description
|
The start indices are relative to 1. The rank of start must be the same as the number of dimensions of the specified variable. The elements of start must be no larger than the scientific dataset's dimensions in order. The stride feature is not currently implemented. For now just pass the start array as the argument for the stride parameter, where it will be ignored.
|
|
|
The rank of count must be the same as the number of dimensions of the specified variable. The elements of count must be no larger than the scientific dataset's dimensions in order. The order in which the data will be written into the specified hyperslab is with the last dimension varying fastest. The data should be of the appropriate type for the dataset. Note that neither the compiler nor HDF software can detect if the wrong type of data is used.
