Purpose:
Reformatting
Description:
Reformatted the code so that it's much clearer and conforms to the
HDF5 coding standards. Changed the function headers to use the ANSI
style instead of the KnR style. Kept the use of typedef's such as
"unsigned char" being "BYTE" and so on since of of this code is
copied from some other place and that's the style they use...I didn't
want to break things.
Platforms tested:
It compiles fine on Linux, but there aren't any tests for this
package, so...
Purpose:
Bug fix (by Bob McGrath)
Description:
On Solaris platforms palette was not written to the HDF5 file
Solution:
'\0' character was written outside the GroupName array. Apparently on Solaris it destroyed the condition value that determined if the palette should be written to the file.
Platforms tested:
Not tested yet.
Purpose:
Adding new feature
Description:
Added gif2h5 and h52gif conversion utilities
Solution:
The utilites follow the framework built for the gif2hdf and hdf2gif
utilities for hdf4. The main files modified were those that read the
H5 file and those that write H5 file. In the future, if you wish to
continue with the framework and extend it to .png or some other fileformat
the main files to edit will be the gif reader and writer.
One point to note with h52gif. You have to specify the exact location of
the image and the palette that it links to. You can choose not to specify
a palette (uniform grayscale chosen in this case) but you must specify
image location. In the future, someone could edit the readhdf.c source
to enable the reader to parse the hdf file and select all images with
corresponding palettes.
Platforms tested:
modi4 , eirene , hawkwind , arabica , Ren (NT 4.0) , Personal box (win2k)
