| H5T_ARRAY-class {hdf5r} | R Documentation |
Class for HDF5 array datatypes.
Description
Inherits from class H5T. This class represents an array. As datasets in HDF5
are itself already arrays, this datatype is not needed there. It is mostly useful when a column in a
H5T_COMPUND object is intended to be an array. This however makes it difficult to work
with such objects in R - as a column of the corresponding data.frame has to be an array. So please
use with care.
Value
Object of class H5T_ARRAY.
Methods
new(dims, dtype_base, id = NULL)-
Create an array datatype.
Parameters
- dims
The dimension of the datatype
- dtype_base
The datatype that makes up the elements of the array
- id
