h5utils is a set of utilities for visualization and conversion of scientific data in the free, portable HDF5 format. Besides providing a simple tool for batch visualization as PNG images, h5utils also includes programs to convert HDF5 datasets into the formats required by other free visualization software (e.g., plain text, Vis5d, and VTK).

Recent releases


Changes: Images are no longer upside-down compared to intuition ("up" = "increasing coordinates"). There is a bugfix in Octave plugin installation and a bugfix in 2-byte VTK binary output.


Changes: A new h4fromh5 utility to convert HDF5 to HDF4, new colormaps, and minor bugfixes.


Changes: A compilation failure with some older compilers was fixed.


Changes: This release features a new h5math utility to combine HDF5 files with symbolic expressions. It supports Matlab-like notation to output a sequence of slices with h5topng.


Changes: This version supports translucent overlays in h5topng, as well as 4+ dimensional datasets in all of the utilities.
