Uses of HObject in hdf.object

Subclasses of HObject in hdf.object

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
class	CompoundDS A CompoundDS is a dataset with compound datatype.
class	Dataset The abstract class provides general APIs to create and manipulate dataset objects, and retrieve dataset properties, datatype and dimension sizes.
class	Datatype Datatype is an abstract class that defines datatype characteristics and APIs for a data type.
class	Group Group is an abstract class.
class	ScalarDS A scalar dataset is a multiple dimension array of scalar points.

Methods in hdf.object that return HObject

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
HObject	FileFormat.createLink(Group parentGroup, String name, HObject currentObj, int type) Creates a soft, hard or external link to an existing object in the open file.
HObject	FileFormat.createLink(Group linkGroup, String name, Object currentObj) Creates a link to an existing object in the open file.
HObject	FileFormat.createLink(Group parentGroup, String name, String currentObj, int type) Creates a soft or external link to an object in a file that does not exist at the time the link is created.
static HObject	FileFormat.findObject(FileFormat file, long[] oid) Finds an object by its object ID
static HObject	FileFormat.findObject(FileFormat file, String path) Finds an object by the full path of the object (path+name)
abstract HObject	FileFormat.get(String path) Gets the HObject with the specified path from the file.
static HObject	FileFormat.getHObject(String fullPath) Deprecated. As of 2.4, replaced by FileFormat.get(String) This static method, which as been deprecated, causes two problems: It can be very expensive if it is called many times or in a loop because each call to the method creates an instance of a file. Since the method does not return the instance of the file, the file cannot be closed directly and may be left open (memory leak). The only way to close the file is through the object returned by this method.
static HObject	FileFormat.getHObject(String filename, String path) Deprecated. As of 2.4, replaced by FileFormat.get(String) This static method, which as been deprecated, causes two problems: It can be very expensive if it is called many times or in a loop because each call to the method creates an instance of a file. Since the method does not return the instance of the file, the file cannot be closed directly and may be left open (memory leak). The only way to close the file is through the object returned by this method, for example: Dataset dset = H5File.getObject("hdf5_test.h5", "/images/iceburg"); ... // close the file through dset dset.getFileFormat().close();

Methods in hdf.object that return types with arguments of type HObject

Modifier and Type	Method and Description

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	Group.addToMemberList(HObject object) Adds an object to the member list of this group in memory.
TreeNode	FileFormat.copy(HObject srcObj, Group dstGroup) Deprecated. As of 2.4, replaced by FileFormat.copy(HObject, Group, String) To mimic the behavior originally provided by this method, call the replacement method with null as the 3rd parameter.
abstract TreeNode	FileFormat.copy(HObject srcObj, Group dstGroup, String dstName) Copies the source object to a new destination.
HObject	FileFormat.createLink(Group parentGroup, String name, HObject currentObj, int type) Creates a soft, hard or external link to an existing object in the open file.
abstract void	FileFormat.delete(HObject obj) Deletes an object from a file.
boolean	HObject.equals(HObject obj) Returns whether this HObject is equal to the specified HObject by comparing their OIDs.
void	Group.removeFromMemberList(HObject object) Removes an object from the member list of this group in memory.
void	FileFormat.renameAttribute(HObject obj, String oldAttrName, String newAttrName) Renames an attribute.
abstract void	FileFormat.writeAttribute(HObject obj, Attribute attr, boolean attrExisted) Attaches a given attribute to an object.
