Detailed Description

template<typename T>

A Lattice that is read from or written to an HDF5 dataset.

Test programs:
tHDF5Lattice

Prerequisite

Synopsis

Astronomical data arrays (like images) have to be persistent. A Lattice is a templated abstract base class to hold any Casacore array. The PagedArray class is a Lattice specialization which stores the data in a Casacore table.
HDF5Lattice ia another Lattice specialization making it possible to store an array as a dataset in a group in an HDF5 file.

When you construct an HDF5Lattice you do not read any data into memory. Instead an HDF5 disk file is created, in a place you specify, to hold the data. This means you need to have enough disk space to hold the array. Constructing a new HDF5Lattice is equivalent to creating a data set in an HDF5 file.

To access the data in a HDF5Lattice you can (in order of preference):

  1. Use a LatticeIterator
  2. Use the getSlice and putSlice member functions
  3. Use the parenthesis operator or getAt and putAt functions

Class PagedArray contains some more info and examples.

Example

Create a HDF5Lattice of Floats of shape [1024,1024,4,256] in a file called "myData_tmp.array" and initialize it to zero.

const IPosition arrayShape(4,1024,1024,4,256);
const String filename("myData_tmp.array");
HDF5Lattice<Float> diskArray(arrayShape, filename);
cout << "Created a HDF5Lattice of shape " << diskArray.shape()
<< " (" << diskArray.shape().product()/1024/1024*sizeof(Float)
<< " MBytes)" << endl
<< "in the table called " << diskArray.tableName() << endl;
diskArray.set(0.0f);
// Using the set function is an efficient way to initialize the HDF5Lattice
// as it uses a LatticeIterator internally. Note that the set function is
// defined in the Lattice class that HDF5Lattice is derived from.

Motivation

There was a need to be able to use HDF5 files to hold image data.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename T>
casacore::HDF5Lattice< T >::HDF5Lattice ( )

The default constructor creates an HDF5Lattice that is useless for just about everything, except that it can be assigned to with the assignment operator.

template<typename T>
casacore::HDF5Lattice< T >::HDF5Lattice ( const TiledShape shape,
const String filename,
const String arrayName = "array",
const String groupName = String() 
)

Construct a new HDF5Lattice with the specified shape.

A new HDF5 file with the specified filename is constructed to hold the array. The file will remain on disk after the HDF5Lattice goes out of scope or is deleted. Optionally the name of an HDF5 group can be given to create the array in. The group is created if not existing yet.

template<typename T>
casacore::HDF5Lattice< T >::HDF5Lattice ( const TiledShape shape)
explicit

Construct a temporary HDF5Lattice with the specified shape.

A scratch file is created in the current working directory to hold the array. This file will be deleted automatically when the HDF5Lattice goes out of scope or is deleted.

template<typename T>
casacore::HDF5Lattice< T >::HDF5Lattice ( const TiledShape shape,
const CountedPtr< HDF5File > &  file,
const String arrayName,
const String groupName = String() 
)

Construct a new HDF5Lattice, with the specified shape, in the given HDF5 file.

The array gets the given name. Optionally the name of an HDF5 group can be given to create the array in. The group is created if not existing yet.

template<typename T>
casacore::HDF5Lattice< T >::HDF5Lattice ( const String fileName,
const String arrayName = "array",
const String groupName = String() 
)
explicit

Reconstruct from a pre-existing HDF5Lattice in the HDF5 file and group with the given names.

template<typename T>
casacore::HDF5Lattice< T >::HDF5Lattice ( const CountedPtr< HDF5File > &  file,
const String arrayName,
const String groupName = String() 
)
explicit

Reconstruct from a pre-existing HDF5Lattice in the HDF5 file and group with the given name.

template<typename T>
casacore::HDF5Lattice< T >::HDF5Lattice ( const HDF5Lattice< T > &  other)

The copy constructor which uses reference semantics.

Copying by value doesn't make sense, because it would require the creation of a temporary (but possibly huge) file on disk.

template<typename T>
casacore::HDF5Lattice< T >::~HDF5Lattice ( )

The destructor flushes the HDF5Lattice's contents to disk.
