      • HDFArray

        public HDFArray​(Object anArray)
                 throws HDF5JavaException
        The input must be a Java Array (possibly multidimensional) of primitive numbers or sub-classes of Number.

        The input is analysed to determine the number of dimensions and size of each dimension, as well as the type of the elements.

        The description is saved in private variables, and used to convert data.

        Parameters:
        anArray - The array object.
        Throws:
        HDF5JavaException - object is not an array.

      • emptyBytes

        public byte[] emptyBytes()
                          throws HDF5JavaException
        Allocate a one-dimensional array of bytes sufficient to store the array.
        Returns:
        A one-D array of bytes, filled with zeroes. The bytes are sufficient to hold the data of the Array passed to the constructor.
        Throws:
        HDF5JavaException - Allocation failed.
      • byteify

        public byte[] byteify()
                       throws HDF5JavaException
        Given a Java array of numbers, convert it to a one-dimensional array of bytes in correct native order.
        Returns:
        A one-D array of bytes, constructed from the Array passed to the constructor.
        Throws:
        HDF5JavaException - the object not an array or other internal error.
      • arrayify

        public Object arrayify​(byte[] bytes)
                        throws HDF5JavaException
        Given a one-dimensional array of bytes representing numbers, convert it to a java array of the shape and size passed to the constructor.
        Parameters:
        bytes - The bytes to construct the Array.
        Returns:
        An Array (possibly multidimensional) of primitive or number objects.
        Throws:
        HDF5JavaException - the object not an array or other internal error.
