+ The Hierarchical Data Format is a general purpose library and
+ file format for storing scientific data.
+ HDF can store two primary objects: datasets and groups. A dataset is
+ essentially a multidimensional array of data elements, and a group is
+ a structure for organizing objects in an HDF file. Using these two basic
+ objects, one can create and store almost any kind of scientific data
+ structure, such as images, arrays of vectors, and structured and
+ unstructured grids. You can also mix and match them in HDF files
+ according to your needs.
