Hello HDF5, I found good examples to solve the problem here https://github.com/kiyo-masui/bitshuffle http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/releases/hdf5-1.6/hdf5-1.6.7/src/unpacked/src/H5Zshuffle.c
Thanks and Bye Jens From: Göbbert, Jens Henrik Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2014 5:26 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: HDF5 custom filter -- missing dataspace id in filter function Hello HDF5, I am using HDF5 since years now and would like to extend it with a custom compression filter now. HDF5 supports dynamically loaded filters since 1.8.11 (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/Advanced/DynamicallyLoadedFilters/HDF5DynamicallyLoadedFilters.pdf) and the BZIP2 example is easy to understand and works fine for me (https://svn.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/hdf5_plugins/trunk/BZIP2/src/H5Zbzip2.c) --- Status --- I read (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/RM_H5Z.html#Compression-Register), that for compressing a dataset 1) 'can_apply' function of filter is called once for each dataset before its creation 2) 'set_local' function of filter is called once for each chunk before 'filter' call 3) 'filter' function of filter is called once for each chunk to compress 'can_apply' and 'set_local' are optional. --- Question --- My compression filter will use an algorithm, which needs to know the dataspace describing the chunk to be compressed. This information has to be known by the 'filter' function but is only available in 'set_local' function. How am I supposed to pass values from 'set_local' to the 'filter' function? Any hint would be a great help - Thanks. Best Jens Henrik -- Dipl.-Ing.
