H5Glance demo¶

import h5py

# Create some example HDF5 data to show
f = h5py.File("example.h5", "w")
f.create_dataset("/group1/subgroup1/dataset1", (200,), dtype='u8')
f.create_dataset("/group1/subgroup1/dataset2", (2, 128, 500), dtype='f4')
f.create_dataset("/group1/subgroup2/dataset1", (12,), dtype='i2')

# Basic h5py repr
f

<HDF5 file "example.h5" (mode r+)>

Use H5Glance explicitly¶

from h5glance import H5Glance
H5Glance(f)

H5Glance(f['group1/subgroup1'])

View all h5py objects¶

Install a display hook for IPython so all h5py files & groups are viewed this way.

import h5glance
h5glance.install_ipython_h5py_display()

f

f['group1']
