h5utils (visualization and conversion of HDF5 data) H5utils is is a set of utilities for visualization and conversion of scientific data in the free, portable HDF5 format. Besides providing a simple tool for batch visualization as PNG images, h5utils also includes programs to convert HDF5 datasets into the formats required by other free visualization software (e.g. plain text, Vis5d, and VTK). This package requires: hdf5 You probably want to preinstall: libmatheval You possibly want to install: octave, hdf; and perhaps Vis5d (not on SBo). Configuration: You can add additional options to the command line using the environment variable SBOPTIONS_H5UTILS; e.g. to enable the hdf4 utils and not rely on the conversion routines, use SBOPTIONS_H5UTILS="--with-hdf4" ./h5utils.Slackbuild Alternatively, if building non-interactively (e.g. if using slpkg), use/create the file /etc/sbo_pkg_options.conf since this slackbuild script will search it for options. Simply include a line starting "h5utils:" followed by options, e.g.: h5utils: --with-hdf4
