Hello,

Are there any other sources of an HDF viewer software other than HDFView from The HDF Group? In particular, one that is installed via a .exe file rather than a .msi file.

I had been using HDFView, but our new IT Group Policy prevents us from installing .msi files (the HDFView installer is a .msi file).

I realize that Matlab has the h5info function, which is helpful, but not as useful as HDFView for viewing the contents of an h5 file.

From my understanding you want to view contents from a h5 file. Please refer h5disp.

Thank you; I was not aware of h5disp.

While h5disp is also useful, it still has two shortcomings compared to HDFView software:

1) Complex hdf files with many groups and group levels can be cumbersome to view in a long text-style display printout.

2) HDFView allows a user to view the groups and subgroups in a folder-type graphical format, and also allows the user to drill down into each data group and do a quick view of the data contents, which is sometimes useful when in development mode.

Using the text-display-style output of h5disp and saving the output of h5info to a MATLAB structure will be suitable for the short term, while still searching to find an alternative 3rd party software similar to HDFView.
