H5Part development and discussion

[Kurt Stockinger <kstockinger AT lbl.gov>]

Hi,

I have a specific question about the data format. Is currently the
assumption that each scalar field is a group (see TestField1 and
TestField2) and the name of the dataset in the scalar field is always
"0"? Find below a simple example based on H5BlockParTestScalarField.c
where I create 2 scalar fields with  

...
H5Block3dWriteScalarField ( f, "TestField1", data );
...
H5Block3dWriteScalarField ( f, "TestField2", data2 );


src/H5PartTest> h5dump -H blockfile2.h5
HDF5 "blockfile2.h5" {
GROUP "/" {
   GROUP "Step#0" {
      GROUP "Block" {
         GROUP "TestField1" {
            DATASET "0" {
               DATATYPE  H5T_IEEE_F64LE
               DATASPACE  SIMPLE { ( 4, 3, 2 ) / ( 4, 3, 2 ) }
            }
         }
         GROUP "TestField2" {
            DATASET "0" {
               DATATYPE  H5T_IEEE_F64LE
               DATASPACE  SIMPLE { ( 4, 3, 2 ) / ( 4, 3, 2 ) }
            }
         }
      }
   }
}
}

Thanks,
Kurt
