Hi Peter, > Amazingly, Visad works for HDF5 files with complicated hiearchical structure. > However, there is an inconvenience in the spreadsheet. Suppose I have a data > set which is at group1-->group1_1-->dataset2 and I open the file at cell a1. > In order to open the data set, I may have to open the groups level by level, > for instance, open file at a1 --> open group1 at b1 (a1.0) --> open group1_1 > at a2 (b1.1) --> open dataset2 at b2 (a2.1). I wonder if there is a way which > opens the datset directly from cell a1, for example, open dataset2 at b1 by > a1.0.1.1 Most VisAD file adpters (extend visad.data.Form) open the entire file, but there are some that do not. You could write an HDF-5 adapter whose open() method would create its own little GUI in a JFrame to ask the user which part of a file they want to open. We haven't done this, so there may be some little problem I don't foresee, but my first guess is that it will work.
