For further flexibility, the * library allows a user application to extend the pipeline through * the creation and registration of customized filters. * * The flexibility of the filter pipeline implementation enables the * definition of additional filters by a user application. A filter * \li is associated with a dataset when the dataset is created, * \li can be used only with chunked data (i.e., datasets stored in * the #H5D_CHUNKED storage layout), and * \li is applied independently to each chunk of the dataset. * * The HDF5 library does not support filters for contiguous datasets * because of the difficulty of implementing random access for partial * I/O. Compact dataset filters are not supported because it would not * produce significant results. * * Filter identifiers for the filters distributed with the HDF5 * Library are as follows: *
#H5Z_FILTER_DEFLATE | The gzip compression, or * deflation, filter |
#H5Z_FILTER_SZIP | The SZIP compression * filter |
#H5Z_FILTER_NBIT | The N-bit compression * filter |
#H5Z_FILTER_SCALEOFFSET | The scale-offset * compression filter |
#H5Z_FILTER_SHUFFLE | The shuffle algorithm * filter |
#H5Z_FILTER_FLETCHER32 | The Fletcher32 checksum, * or error checking, filter |
