package. Using these functions, you can create a new NetCDF file based on the schema of
an existing file, convert files between NetCDF formats, and create a new NetCDF file by
merging together two existing NetCDF files.
• nccreate — Create variable in NetCDF file
• ncdisp — Display contents of netCDF file
• ncinfo — Return information about netCDF file
• ncread — Read data and attributes from netCDF file
• ncreadatt — Read global attribute or attribute associated with variable from netCDF
file.
• ncwrite — Write data to netCDF file
• ncwriteatt — Write attribute to netCDF file
• ncwriteschema — Add netCDF schema definitions to a NetCDF file
New High-Level HDF5 Functions
MATLAB now includes several new high-level functions for working with HDF5
files. These functions let you read and write to HDF5 files, without having to use the
programming paradigm required by the low-level functions in the HDF5 package.
• h5create — Create HDF5 data set
• h5disp — Display contents of HDF5 file
• h5info — Return information about HDF5 file
• h5read — Read data from HDF5 data set.
• h5readatt — Read attribute from HDF5 group or data set
• h5write — Write to HDF5 data set
• h5writeatt — Write HDF5 attribute to group or data set
Compatibility Considerations
The new high-level HDF5 functions have the following compatibility considerations with
the existing high-level HDF5 functions.
• hdf5read is not recommended. Use h5read instead.
• hdf5write is not recommended. Use h5write instead.
