[[!meta  title="HDFView"]]

[HDFView][] is a useful utility for browsing and manipulating
[[HDF5]].

Note that there is currently a [minor bug with the Ubuntu
packaging][bug], so you may need to install `default-jre` by hand.

HDFView is packaged for Gentoo in the [science overlay][science], just
install the science overlay and emerge `dev-java/hdf-java` with
`USE=hdfview`.
