[svn-r985] Checking in changes from "HDF5 Release 1.0" CVS branch that have not yet been checked into "HDF5 Development" branch. General ======= Various "copy edit" types of repairs. Revisions to document cross-linking. Added structural links tying all docs together (banners at top and bottom of documents, similar to Reference Manual banners of the Beta release). Set background color to white in all documents. NCSAfooterlogo.gif hdf2.jpg New image files to make the documents more self-contained (i.e., to prevent loading images from NCSA and HDF home servers). index.html Redesigned to isolate links external to the installation in a single location. Intro to HDF5 ============= H5.intro.html Fixed banner linking Intro to other docs. Set all URLs to be relative within the distribution; nothing points back to the HDF server. Updates to "Limits of the Current Release" and "Changes in the Current Release." HDF5 User's Guide ================= Changed several User Guide section titles such that all sections that are primarily about a particular interface are now titled in the format "The xxxxx Interface (H5x)". H5.user.html Commented out links to developer docs since they are marked in MANIFEST as not being for distribution in the release. Removed 2nd and 3rd indices from page. Changed "freeform" lists of sections (TOCs) to aligned tables. Datatypes.html Removed the sentence "I'm deferring definition until later since they're probably not as important as the other data types." from Section 3.3, "Properties of Date and Time Atomic Types." Added info regarding 'char' versus 'string' datatypes. Added as Section 3.7, "Character and String Datatype Issues." References.html Commented out substantial material (at end of document) from References planning document that is not appropriate for the User Guide but that is worth keeping around. Groups.html Final edits from elimination of "current working group." HDF5 Reference Manual ===================== Removed "Draft" from the <title>__</title> lines. RM_H5Front.html Removed 2nd and 3rd indices from page. Changed "freeform" lists of sections (TOCs) to aligned tables. RM_H5F.html RM_H5P.html Add file mounting information.

This version of the Ragged Array interface implements a
two-dimensional array where each row of the array is a different length.
It is intended for applications where the distribution of row lengths
is such that most rows are near an average length with only a few rows
that are significantly shorter or longer. The raw data is split among
two datasets, <code>raw</code> and <code>over</code>: the <code>raw</code>
dataset is a two-dimensional chunked dataset whose width is large enough
to hold most of the rows while the <code>over</code> dataset is a heap
that stores the ends of rows that overflow the first dataset.
A third dataset, called <code>meta</code>, contains one record for each
row and describes what elements, if any, overflow the <code>raw</code>
dataset and where they are stored in the <code>over</code> dataset.
All three datasets are contained in a single group whose name is the
name of the ragged array.

<dd><code>H5RAcreate</code> creates a new ragged array with the
name specified in <code>name</code>. A ragged array is
implemented as a group containing three datasets.
The dataset <code>raw</code> is a fixed width dataset
which will hold the majority of the data.
The dataset <code>over</code> is a one dimensional heap
which will hold the end of rows which are too long to fit
in <code>raw</code>
Finally, the <code>meta</code> dataset contains information
about the <code>over</code> array. All elements of the
ragged array are stored with the same data type.
<p>
The property list <code>plist_id</code> should contain
information about chunking. The chunk width will determine
the width of the <code>raw</code> dataset while the chunk
length should be such that the total chunk size is
reasonably large since I/O will be performed in units
of chunks). If the <code>plist_id</code> does not have
a chunk size defined (e.g., <code>H5P_DEFAULT</code>)
then this function will fail.

<dd><code>H5RAwrite</code> writes a contiguous set of rows to a
ragged array beginning at row number <code>start_row</code>
and continuing for <code>nrows</code> rows.
<p>
Each row of the ragged array contains <code>size[]</code>
elements of type <code>type_id</code> and each row is stored
in a buffer pointed to by <code>buf[]</code>.
<p>
Datatype conversion takes place at the time of a read or write
and is automatic. See the
<a href="Datatypes.html#Datatypes-DataConversion">Data Conversion</a>
section of <cite>The Data Type Interface (H5T)</cite> in the
<cite>HDF5 User's Guide</cite> for a discussion of
data conversion, including the range of conversions currently

<dd><code>H5RAread</code> reads the contents of one or more rows
of the ragged array pointed to by <code>array_id</code>.
<p>
The rows to be read begin at row <code>start_row</code> and
continue for <code>nrows</code> rows.
<p>
All raw data is converted to type <code>type_id</code>.
<p>
The caller must allocate the <code>size[]</code> and
<code>buf[]</code> arrays.
<p>
Memory for the data can be allocated by either the caller or
the library. In the former case, the caller should initialize
the <code>buf[]</code> array with pointers to valid memory and
the <code>size[]</code> array with the lengths of the buffers.
In the latter case, the caller should initialize
<code>buf[]</code> with null pointers (the input value of
<code>size[]</code> is irrelevant in this case) and the
library will allocate memory for each row by calling
<code>malloc()</code>.
<p>
Datatype conversion takes place at the time of a read or write
and is automatic. See the
<a href="Datatypes.html#Datatypes-DataConversion">Data Conversion</a>
section of <cite>The Data Type Interface (H5T)</cite> in the

The values of the <code>size[]</code> array will be the
true length of each row. If a row is longer than the
caller-allocated length, then <code>size[]</code> will
contain the true length of the row although not all elements
of that row will be stored in the buffer.

array will contain it's original pointers (null or otherwise),
although the caller-supplied buffers may have been modified.
The <code>size[]</code> array may also have been modified.

[svn-r985] Checking in changes from "HDF5 Release 1.0" CVS branch that have not yet been checked into "HDF5 Development" branch. General ======= Various "copy edit" types of repairs. Revisions to document cross-linking. Added structural links tying all docs together (banners at top and bottom of documents, similar to Reference Manual banners of the Beta release). Set background color to white in all documents. NCSAfooterlogo.gif hdf2.jpg New image files to make the documents more self-contained (i.e., to prevent loading images from NCSA and HDF home servers). index.html Redesigned to isolate links external to the installation in a single location. Intro to HDF5 ============= H5.intro.html Fixed banner linking Intro to other docs. Set all URLs to be relative within the distribution; nothing points back to the HDF server. Updates to "Limits of the Current Release" and "Changes in the Current Release." HDF5 User's Guide ================= Changed several User Guide section titles such that all sections that are primarily about a particular interface are now titled in the format "The xxxxx Interface (H5x)". H5.user.html Commented out links to developer docs since they are marked in MANIFEST as not being for distribution in the release. Removed 2nd and 3rd indices from page. Changed "freeform" lists of sections (TOCs) to aligned tables. Datatypes.html Removed the sentence "I'm deferring definition until later since they're probably not as important as the other data types." from Section 3.3, "Properties of Date and Time Atomic Types." Added info regarding 'char' versus 'string' datatypes. Added as Section 3.7, "Character and String Datatype Issues." References.html Commented out substantial material (at end of document) from References planning document that is not appropriate for the User Guide but that is worth keeping around. Groups.html Final edits from elimination of "current working group." HDF5 Reference Manual ===================== Removed "Draft" from the <title>__</title> lines. RM_H5Front.html Removed 2nd and 3rd indices from page. Changed "freeform" lists of sections (TOCs) to aligned tables. RM_H5F.html RM_H5P.html Add file mounting information.

Revisions to document cross-linking. Added structural links tying all docs together (banners at top and bottom of documents, similar to Reference Manual banners of the Beta release). Set background color to white in all documents.

Intro to HDF5 ============= H5.intro.html Fixed banner linking Intro to other docs. Set all URLs to be relative within the distribution; nothing points back to the HDF server.

Added info regarding 'char' versus 'string' datatypes. Added as Section 3.7, "Character and String Datatype Issues." References.html Commented out substantial material (at end of document) from References planning document that is not appropriate for the User Guide but that is worth keeping around.
