- The Hierarchical Data Format is a general purpose library and
- file format for storing scientific data.
- HDF can store two primary objects: datasets and groups. A dataset is
- essentially a multidimensional array of data elements, and a group is
- a structure for organizing objects in an HDF file. Using these two basic
- objects, one can create and store almost any kind of scientific data
- structure, such as images, arrays of vectors, and structured and
- unstructured grids. You can also mix and match them in HDF files
- according to your needs.
