- Using HDF at NCSA
- *****************************
-
- HDF is installed on various systems at NCSA. The following is a list
- of directories in which HDF is installed on different systems:
-
-
- Cray-2: /usr/local/apps/hdf
- Cray-YMP: /usr/local/apps/hdf
- Convex (C3): /usr/local/apps/hdf
- Sun 4: /soft/hdf/SPARC
- Sun 3: /soft/hdf/SUN3
- IBM6000 (ACB): /usr/local/appl/hdf
- SGI (REL): /ncsa/apps/hdf
-
- The current version of HDF will be in that directory and its
- subdirectories.
-
- In the bin/ directory you will find several HDF utilities, such as:
-
- hdfls - a utility to display information about the contents of an
- HDF file.
-
- hdfrseq - a utility to display a raster 8 bit image remotely using
- the NCSA Interactive Color Raster protocol.
-
- hdftor8 - a utility to convert an HDF raster 8 bit image into a raw
- raster image.
-
- r8tohdf - a utility to convert a raw raster image to an HDF raster 8
- bit image.
-
- hdfcomp - a utility to change the compression scheme used for 8-bit
- raster images in HDF files.
-
- If you execute any of these commands with no parameters, it will display
- the list of acceptable parameters.
-
- In the include/ directory you will find the necessary include files for
- use in your own programs that link with the HDF library.
-
- In the lib/ directory you will find the HDF library which contains the
- necessary subroutines for developing your own HDF applications.
-
- Information about HDF source code, documentation, test suite,
- and examples, can be found in the README.FIRST file in this directory.
-
- If you have any questions, please contact the NCSA Consulting Office.
