hdfcomp - compress 8-bit raster images in an HDF file
Contents
Description
hdfcomp reads RIS8 images from a set of HDF files, compresses them and stores the compressed data in a
second HDF file. If the output HDF file exists, the compressed images will be appended to it.
Examples
A directory contains twenty files named "storm001", "storm002", ... "storm020". Each of these files conβ
tains a single RIS8 image. To compress these images using run-length encoding and store them in a file
named "altcomp.hdf", use the following hdfcomp command:
hdfcomp allcomp.hdf -c storm*.hdf
