Using HDF at NCSA
*****************************
HDF is installed on various systems at NCSA. The following is a list
of directories in which HDF is installed on different systems:
Cray-2: /usr/local/apps/hdf
Cray-YMP: /usr/local/apps/hdf
Convex (C3): /usr/local/apps/hdf
Sun 4: /soft/hdf/SPARC
Sun 3: /soft/hdf/SUN3
IBM6000 (ACB): /usr/local/appl/hdf
SGI (REL): /ncsa/apps/hdf
The current version of HDF will be in that directory and its
subdirectories.
In the bin/ directory you will find several HDF utilities, such as:
hdfls - a utility to display information about the contents of an
HDF file.
hdfrseq - a utility to display a raster 8 bit image remotely using
the NCSA Interactive Color Raster protocol.
hdftor8 - a utility to convert an HDF raster 8 bit image into a raw
raster image.
r8tohdf - a utility to convert a raw raster image to an HDF raster 8
bit image.
hdfcomp - a utility to change the compression scheme used for 8-bit
raster images in HDF files.
If you execute any of these commands with no parameters, it will display
the list of acceptable parameters.
In the include/ directory you will find the necessary include files for
use in your own programs that link with the HDF library.
In the lib/ directory you will find the HDF library which contains the
necessary subroutines for developing your own HDF applications.
Information about HDF source code, documentation, test suite,
and examples, can be found in the README.FIRST file in this directory.
If you have any questions, please contact the NCSA Consulting Office.
