Description

This is the base class for all datatypes, but most have a specialised class. This class represents an HDF5 datatype. It inherits all functions of the H5RefClass. It is also the base class for many other classes well, specifically

Integer

H5T_INTEGER

Bitfield

H5T_BITFIELD (currently identical to the integer class)

Float

H5T_FLOAT

Enum

H5T_ENUM

Compound

H5T_COMPOUND

String

H5T_STRING

Complex

H5T_COMPLEX

Array

H5T_ARRAY

Variable Length

H5T_VLEN

Arguments

Value

Object of class H5T.

Examples

Run this code
my_int <- h5types$H5T_NATIVE_INT
my_int$to_text()
my_int$get_size()

# Show how to commit a datatype
fname <- tempfile(fileext = ".h5")
file <- H5File$new(fname, mode = "a")
my_int$is_committed()
file$commit("my_int", my_int)
my_int$is_committed()

# can now also add attributes
h5attr(my_int, "test") <- "A string"
h5attributes(my_int)

file$close_all()
file.remove(fname)
