public class H4SDS extends ScalarDS
The data contained in an SDS array has a data type associated with it. The standard data types supported by the SD interface include 32- and 64-bit floating-point numbers, 8-, 16- and 32-bit signed integers, 8-, 16- and 32-bit unsigned integers, and 8-bit characters.
How to Select a Subset
Dataset defines APIs for reading, writing and subsetting a dataset. No function is defined to select a subset of a data array. The selection is done in an implicit way. Function calls to dimension information such as getSelectedDims() return an array of dimension values, which is a reference to the array in the dataset object. Changes of the array outside the dataset object directly change the values of the array in the dataset object. It is like pointers in C.
The following is an example of how to make a subset. In the example, the dataset
is a 4-dimension with size of [200][100][50][10], i.e.
dims[0]=200; dims[1]=100; dims[2]=50; dims[3]=10;
We want to select every other data point in dims[1] and dims[2]
int rank = dataset.getRank(); // number of dimensions of the dataset
long[] dims = dataset.getDims(); // the dimension sizes of the dataset
long[] selected = dataset.getSelectedDims(); // the selected size of the dataet
long[] start = dataset.getStartDims(); // the offset of the selection
long[] stride = dataset.getStride(); // the stride of the dataset
int[] selectedIndex = dataset.getSelectedIndex(); // the selected dimensions for display
// select dim1 and dim2 as 2D data for display,and slice through dim0
selectedIndex[0] = 1;
selectedIndex[1] = 2;
selectedIndex[1] = 0;
// reset the selection arrays
for (int i=0; i<rank; i++) {
start[i] = 0;
selected[i] = 1;
stride[i] = 1;
}
// set stride to 2 on dim1 and dim2 so that every other data point is selected.
stride[1] = 2;
stride[2] = 2;
// set the selection size of dim1 and dim2
selected[1] = dims[1]/stride[1];
selected[2] = dims[1]/stride[2];
// when dataset.read() is called, the slection above will be used since
// the dimension arrays is passed by reference. Changes of these arrays
// outside the dataset object directly change the values of these array
// in the dataset object.

MetaDataContainerpublic byte[][] readPalette(int idx)
ScalarDSA scalar dataset may have multiple palettes attached to it. readPalette(int idx) returns a specific palette identified by its index.
readPalette in class ScalarDSidx - the index of the palette to read.public byte[] getPaletteRefs()
ScalarDSA palette reference is an object reference that points to the palette dataset.
For example, Dataset "Iceberg" has an attribute of object reference "Palette". The arrtibute "Palette" has value "2538" that is the object reference of the palette data set "Iceberg Palette".

DatasetThis function allows applications to create a new dataset for a given data buffer. For example, users can select a specific interesting part from a large image and create a new image with the selection.
The new dataset retains the datatype and dataset creation properties of this dataset.

DatasetreadBytes() reads raw data to an array of bytes instead of array of its datatype. For example, for a one-dimension 32-bit integer dataset of size 5, readBytes() returns a byte array of size 20 instead of an int array of 5.
readBytes() can be used to copy data from one dataset to another efficiently because the raw data is not converted to its native type, it saves memory space and CPU time.
public Object read() throws hdf.hdflib.HDFException, OutOfMemoryError
DataFormatread() reads the data from file to a memory buffer and returns the memory buffer. The dataset object does not hold the memory buffer. To store the memory buffer in the dataset object, one must call getData().
By default, the whole dataset is read into memory. Users can also select a subset to read. Subsetting is done in an implicit way.

HObjectopen in class HObjectHObject.close(long)public void close(long id)
HObjectSub-classes must implement this interface because different data objects have their own ways of how the data resources are closed.
For example, H5Group.close() calls the hdf.hdf5lib.H5.H5Gclose() method and closes the group resource specified by the group id.
public void init()
public byte[][] getPalette()
ScalarDSA Scalar dataset can be displayed as spreadsheet data or an image. When a scalar dataset is displayed as an image, the palette or color table may be needed to translate a pixel value to color components (for example, red, green, and blue). Some scalar datasets have no palette and some datasets have one or more than one palettes. If an associated palette exists but is not loaded, this interface retrieves the palette from the file and returns the palette. If the palette is loaded, it returns the palette. It returns null if there is no palette associated with the dataset.
Current implementation only supports palette model of indexed RGB with 256 colors. Other models such as YUV", "CMY", "CMYK", "YCbCr", "HSV will be supported in the future.
The palette values are stored in a two-dimensional byte array and are arranges by color components of red, green and blue. palette[][] = byte[3][256], where, palette[0][], palette[1][] and palette[2][] are the red, green and blue components respectively.
Sub-classes have to implement this interface. HDF4 and HDF5 images use different libraries to retrieve the associated palette.
