Abstract NCSA Hierarchical Data Format is a multi-object file format that facilitates the transfer of graphical and floating-point data between various machines and operating systems, including the Cray, Convex, Sun, Alliant, Silicon Graphics, Macintosh, and IBM PC computers. HDF allows self-definitions of data content and easy extensibility for future enhancements or compatibility with other standard formats; includes Fortran and C calling interfaces; utilities to prepare raw image of data files or for use with other NCSA software; and interface for storing and retrieving compressed or uncompressed raster images with palettes; an interface for storing and retrieving scientific datasets of up to seven dimensions together with information about the data, such as labels, units, formats, and scales for all dimensions.
