Set storage mechanism for string data type
H5T.set_strpad(type_id,storage_type)
H5T.set_strpad(type_id,storage_type) defines
the storage mechanism for the string data type identified by type_id.
The storage type may be one of the following values.
'H5T_STR_NULLTERM' | Null terminated |
'H5T_STR_NULLPAD' | Padded with zeros |
'H5T_STR_SPACEPAD' | Padded with spaces |
Create a ten-character string data type with space padding.
type_id = H5T.copy('H5T_C_S1'); H5T.set_size(type_id,10); H5T.set_strpad(type_id,'H5T_STR_SPACEPAD');
