HDF5 implementation; HDF5 .. _hdf5_implementation: ================================================== Binary: HDF5 ================================================== .. sidebar:: work in progress... This document is under construction. Many parts have yet to be written. It is expected that small-angle scattering data will be stored in binary HDF5 files (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/). To store SAS data in text files, see the chapter titled :ref:`xml_implementation`. The basic plan here is to describe the implementation of the canSAS multi-dimensional format within the NeXus HDF5 format (http://www.nexusformat.org) by creating a new NeXus :index:`NXcansas` application definition, expressed as a NXDL file (http://download.nexusformat.org/doc/html/nxdl.html). The effort to create this NXDL definition will commence once the basics of the canSAS multi-dimensional format are set forth. Contents: .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2
