Create new dataset
dataset_id = H5D.create(loc_id,name,type_id,space_id,plist_id)
dataset_id = H5D.create(loc_id,name,type_id,space_id,lcpl_id,dcpl_id,dapl_id)
dataset_id = H5D.create(loc_id,name,type_id,space_id,plist_id)
creates the data set specified by name in the file
or in the group specified by loc_id. type_id and space_id identify
the datatype and dataspace, respectively. plist_id identifies
the dataset creation property list. This interface corresponds to
the H5Dcreate1 function in the HDF5 library C 1.6
API.
dataset_id = H5D.create(loc_id,name,type_id,space_id,lcpl_id,dcpl_id,dapl_id)
creates the data set with three distinct property lists:
lcpl_id | link creation property list |
dcpl_id | dataset creation property list |
dapl_id | dataset access property list |
This interface corresponds to the H5Dcreate function
in the HDF5 library C 1.8 API.
Create a 10x5 double precision dataset with default property list settings.
fid = H5F.create('myfile.h5'); type_id = H5T.copy('H5T_NATIVE_DOUBLE'); dims = [10 5]; h5_dims = fliplr(dims); h5_maxdims = h5_dims; space_id = H5S.create_simple(2,h5_dims,h5_maxdims); dcpl = 'H5P_DEFAULT'; dset_id = H5D.create(fid,'DS',type_id,space_id,dcpl); H5S.close(space_id); H5T.close(type_id); H5D.close(dset_id); H5F.close(fid); h5disp('myfile.h5');
Create a 6x3 fixed length string dataset. Each string will have a length of 4 characters.
fid = H5F.create('myfile_strings.h5'); type_id = H5T.copy('H5T_C_S1'); H5T.set_size(type_id,4); dims = [6 3]; h5_dims = fliplr(dims); h5_maxdims = h5_dims; space_id = H5S.create_simple(2,h5_dims,h5_maxdims); dcpl = 'H5P_DEFAULT'; dset_id = H5D.create(fid,'DS',type_id,space_id,dcpl); H5S.close(space_id); H5T.close(type_id); H5D.close(dset_id); H5F.close(fid); h5disp('myfile_strings.h5');
