Description-en: HDF5 files visualization tools
HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format 5) is a file format for storing
scientific data. These tools allow converting other formats to
HDF5 and to visualize HDF5 files. They include:
- h5topng, which extracts a 2d slice of an HDF5 file and
outputs a corresponding image in PNG format;
- h5totxt, which extracts 2d slices and outputs comma-delimited
text (suitable for import into a spreadsheet);
- h5fromtxt, which converts simple text input into
multi-dimensional numeric HDF5 datasets;
- h5fromh4, which converts HDF4 data to HDF5;
- h5tovtk, which converts HDF5 files to VTK files for
visualization with VTK-aware programs;
