Examples

Several examples are provided to access HDF-EOS files via HDF-EOS libraries and tools.

Comprehensive

Main page about this section: Comprehensive Examples

We provide a comprehensive list of complete programming examples in Python, NCL, IDL, and MATLAB for various NASA HDF/HDF-EOS products like MODIS, AIRS, TRMM, CERES, MISR, GSSTF, Aquarius, VIIRS, SeaWiFS, etc.

Libraries

Main page about this section: Library Examples

We provide examples on how to access HDF-EOS Grid and Swath files using programming languages such as C, Fortran, IDL external , MATLAB , NCL, and Python. Special examples such as retrieving geo-location information from an HDF-EOS Grid file are also provided.

A few general examples to access HDF-EOS Grid and Swath objects are listed below.

Access HDF-EOS Grid data in C and Fortran (HDF-EOS2 C, HDF-EOS5 C, HDF-EOS2 Fortran, HDF-EOS5 Fortran)
Access HDF-EOS Swath data in C and Fortran (HDF-EOS2 C, HDF-EOS5 C, HDF-EOS2 Fortran, HDF-EOS5 Fortran)
