HDFView Software

HDFView is a visual tool written in Java for browsing and editing HDF (HDF5 and HDF4) files. Using HDFView, you can:

  • View a file hierarchy in a tree structure
  • Create new files, add or delete groups and datasets
  • View and modify the content of a dataset
  • Add, delete and modify attributes

HDFView uses the Java HDF Object Package, which implements HDF4 and HDF5 data objects in an object-oriented form.
