Here, we describe what has changed between releases of the h5utils package. You can also refer to the NEWS
file in the h5utils distribution (or the ChangeLog
file for a more detailed listing).
h5utils 1.12
6/12/09
- The vertical axis in
h5topng
is now reversed to correspond to what most people seem to expect: increasing coordinates correspond to "up" and "right" in the image, rather than "down" and "right" in the image as in previous versions. - Fixed failure in
h5tovtk -2
; thanks to Karen Lee for the bug report. - Fixed installation of
h5read.oct
for Octave 3.x.
h5utils 1.11.1
4/28/08
- Fixed failure to find colormap files in h5topng 1.11 (due to changes in autoconf 2.60); thanks to bug report from Jiangjun Zheng.
h5utils 1.11
4/24/08
- h5tovtk no longer reverses the dimensions; thanks to Andreas Wilde for the suggestion.
- Fix compilation failure with HDF5 1.8.
h5utils 1.10.1
9/20/06
- Fixed build problem on Cygwin due to missing "
.exe
" extension. Thanks to Ken Hill for the bug report.
h5utils 1.10
9/2/05
- Added
h4fromh5
utility. (NCSA seems to be no longer shipping the HDF5/HDF4 conversion tools with the latest HDF5 release.) - Added
dkbluered
color map, which is similar tobluered
but uses a somewhat wider range of colors.
h5utils 1.9.1
8/5/04
- Fix
h5topng
compilation failure with some non-C99 compilers; thanks to Maarten van Reeuwijk for the bug report.
h5utils 1.9
7/12/04
- Added new
h5math
utility, which creates and combines HDF5 datasets using a user-specified mathematical expression. (Requires GNU libmatheval to be installed.) -
h5topng
: Matlab-likestart:end
orstart:step:end
notation for slice indices, to allow a whole sequence of slices to be output as a sequence of PNG images. -
h5topng
: if contour/overlay dataset does not have same dimensions as output data, it is periodically "tiled" over the output.
h5utils 1.8
5/22/04
- New
-A
and-a
options forh5topng
to allow translucent overlays from one file onto another (an alternative or complement to the-C
contour-overlay option). -
h5topng
uses 24-bit direct color by default (use-8
option for old 8-bit behavior). -
h5topng
uses columns/rows for x/y by default (use-T
to swap), the opposite of the old behavior. - There is no default
-z 0
slice dimension inh5topng
/h5totxt
any more. You must specify a slice for 3+ dimensional data inh5topng
.h5totxt
dumps the whole data file by default unless one or more slices are specified. - Support specifying multiple slice dimensions for 4+ dimensional datasets, with new "-t" option to indicate final dimension.
- Slices are also supported now in
h5tovtk
andh5tov5d
. - New
-.
option inh5totxt
to specify number of significant digits; output 16 digits by default instead of 6, previously.
h5utils 1.7.2
7/15/02
- Fixed C++ compilation problem for
g++
3.x inh5read
Octave plugin; thanks to Josselin Mouette for the patch.
h5utils 1.7.1
3/16/02
- Fixed array overrun in
h5topng
that caused a floating-point exception on Alphas; thanks to Marin Soljacic for the bug report.
h5utils 1.7
3/9/02
-
h5topng
now supports multiple, user-definable color tables, a number of which are provided. Incompatible change: the-c
option now has the syntax:-c colortable
. The old behavior corresponds to the included "bluered
" colortable, invoked via:-c bluered
. - New
-R
option forh5topng
to use a consistent color scale for all specified files. - New
-0
option forh5topng
andh5totxt
that shifts the origin of the slice coordinates to the dataset center. - Added
h5tovtk
program to output VTK (Visualization ToolKit) data files. - Support
-T
(transpose dimensions) option inh5tov5d
. - Fixed bug in
h5topng
that caused extra rows/columns of garbage pixels to be written at the edges of images when scaling was used. - When compiling the h5read Octave plugin, respect the
CPPFLAGS
andLDFLAGS
environment variables. Thanks to Max Colice for the bug report. - Fixed problem when
--without-h5tov5d
and--without-h5fromh4
are used. Thanks to Nikola Ivanov Nikolov for the fix.
h5utils 1.6
1/17/01
- Don't build
h5fromh4
if the superiorh4toh5
tool (from HDF5 1.4) is present. Also added--{with,without}-h5fromh4
option to configure to force whetherh5fromh4
is built.
h5utils 1.5.1
12/9/00
- Support manually disabling Octave plugin support (
configure --without-octave
) in case of C++ problems. - Support Vis5d+ and Debian HDF header file locations.
h5utils 1.5
7/9/00
- Added
h5fromh4
program to convert HDF4 datasets to HDF5 format. - Added
-S s
option toh5topng
as a shortcut for-X s -Y s
.
h5utils 1.4
5/28/00
- Added
h5fromtxt
program to convert text input to an HDF5 dataset.
h5utils 1.3.4
1/31/00
- Improved -C contour plotting in h5topng.
- Fix in
h5topng
man page (thanks to Christoph Becher).
h5utils 1.3.3
1/30/00
- Bug fix in
h5topng
(would sometimes output solid black images). Thanks to Karl Koch for the bug report.
h5utils 1.3.2
1/28/00
- Added
h5topng -Z
option to center color scale on zero. - Now support
h5topng -C filename:dataset
.
h5utils 1.3.1
1/27/00
- Bug fixes in dataset name-handling, especially when using
h5tov5d
to join multiple datasets into one output file.
h5utils 1.3
1/21/00
- You can now specify individual datasets within a file by using filename:dataset instead of just filename with
h5topng
,h5totxt
, andh5tov5d
.
h5utils 1.2.3
1/20/00
- Fixed minor bug in '
h5totxt -h
'.
h5utils 1.2.2
1/12/00
-
Makefile
now includesCPPFLAGS
in the compiler flags, making it easier to use header files in non-standard locations. (CPPFLAGS
is the proper place to put-I
flags for the configure script.)
h5utils 1.2.1
1/1/00
- Modified
-o
option ofh5tov5d
to join datasets into a single Vis5d file.
h5utils 1.2
12/31/99
- Added h5tov5d program for converting to Vis5d format.
- Improved installation;
h5read.oct
now goes into the sitewide Octave plugins directory, and things work correctly when only some of the utilities are compiled.
h5utils 1.1
12/6/99
- Added
h5totxt
program for exporting 2d slices of HDF5 files to text suitable for importing into a spreadsheet.
h5utils 1.0
11/22/99
- Initial release.
