 #!Rhdf HDF Files #!N #!EC #!N #!N HDF is a multiobject 
file structure that is designed to facilitate the transfer of data 
between machines. HDF was created at the National Center for Supercomputing 
Applications (NCSA). #!N #!N Data Explorer provides support for importing HDF 
files that contain a Scientific DataSet (SDS). A Scientific DataSet is 
an HDF set that stores rectangular gridded Arrays of data, together 
with the information about the data. Note: Scientific Data Sets should 
be created using the DFSD API and not the SD API. 
#!N #!N To import HDF files, specify the filename as the 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   name #!EF parameter. By default, all the datasets will be 
imported and collected into a Group. To import a particular dataset 
specify a number corresponding to that dataset as the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   variable 
#!EF parameter (0 corresponds to the first dataset). The  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   format 
#!EF parameter must be "hdf." #!N #!N If dimension scales are 
specified, Data Explorer uses these to construct positions; otherwise positions have 
an origin of 0.0 and deltas of 1.0 along each dimension. 
Data Explorer automatically constructs regular connections for either case. #!N #!N
