H5S-class: Class for representing HDF5 spaces

Description

This class represents Spaces in HDF5. These are mostly useful to define the dimensions of a dataset as well as the maximum dimensions to which it can grow. By default, the maximum dimension is equal to the initial dimension. If you want the array to be able to grow arbitrarily large in one dimension, set the maximum dimension for this index to Inf. See the examples below for code how to do this.

Arguments

Value

Object of class H5S.

Methods

new(type = c("simple", "scalar", "null"), dims = NULL, maxdims = dims, decode_buf = NULL, id = NULL)

Create a new HDF5-space. This can be done by either specifying a space with appropriate dimensions or by decoding a character string that represents an encoded space

Parameters

type

Either a simple space, for which dims and maxdims have to be given or a scalar or null space. See the HDF5 user guide on spaces to explain the differences.

dims

The dimension of the space in case it is of type simple

maxdims

The maximal dimensions of the space

decode_buf

The character string that holds the encoded representation of a space

id

An existing HDF5 id; internal use only

Parameters

args

The indices for each dimension to subset given as a list. This makes this easier to use as a programmatic API. For interactive use we recommend the use of the [ operator.

op

The operator to use. Same as for the other HDF5 space selection functions. One of the elements shown in h5const$H5S_seloper_t

envir

The environment in which to evaluate args

print(...)

Prints information for the group

Parameters

...

ignored

dims()

Get the dimensions of the space. Return NULL if the space is not simple (i.e. NULL-space) or a length-0 integer if it is a scalar

maxdims()

Get the maximal dimensions of the space.Return NULL if the space is not simple (i.e. NULL-space) or a length-0 integer if it is a scalar

rank()

This function implements the HDF5-API function H5Sget_simple_extent_ndims. Please see the documentation at https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/HDF5/H5S_GET_SIMPLE_EXTENT_NDIMS for details.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
h5s_fixed <- H5S$new("simple", dims=c(5, 2))
h5s_fixed

h5s_variable <- H5S$new("simple", dims=c(5,2), maxdims=c(Inf,2))
h5s_variable
h5s_variable$set_extent_simple(c(10,2), c(Inf, 2))
h5s_variable

# now select a subset of points
# argument evaluation has a heuristic; here it chooses point selection
h5s_variable[c(1, 3, 8), 1]
h5s_variable$get_select_type()
h5s_variable$get_select_elem_pointlist()

# and a hyperslab (chosen by the argument heuristic)
h5s_variable[2:7, 1:2]
h5s_variable$get_select_type()
h5s_variable$get_select_hyper_blocklist()
# }
