[Scilab-users] HDF5 write data to file

[Lester Anderson]

Hi all,

I just found a useful way of getting netCDF files into Scilab via HDF5
(just found this!):

a=h5open('Test_10-FAA.grd');
h5ls(a)
//  "lat"                     "dataset"  //  "lon"
"dataset"  //  "z"                       "dataset"  //  "Conventions"
    "attribute"//  "GMT_version"     "attribute"//  "_NCProperties"
"attribute"//  "description"        "attribute"//  "history"
   "attribute"//  "node_offset"       "attribute"//  "title"
        "attribute"
lon=h5read(a, 'lon');lat=h5read(a, 'lat');data=h5read(a, 'z');

h5close(a);

The data plots fine via Sgrayplot(lon,lat,data,zminmax=[-25,25]) . I need
to know how to write data out to essentially replicate the input netCDF
file, so any pointers/examples would be helpful. It would be good to output
a file in a format that GMT (Generic Mapping Tools) would recognise.

The use of HDF5 seems to solve the issues of working with netCDF-4 files.
