Loading and viewing the data (MATLAB)

file_name = 'MUN104L.h5'; 
I = hdf5read(file_name, '/I'); 
I = double( I' ); 
h = pcolor(I); 
set(h, 'facecolor','flat', 'edgecolor','none')

Loading and viewing the data (Python)

import tables 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
file_name = 'MUN104L.h5' 
with tables.open_file(file_name, 'r') as h:
	I = h.root.I.read()
plt.imshow(I, origin='lower', interpolation='nearest')
plt.show()

Data format

HDF5 is an open data format, excellent for the fast reading-and-writing of large datasets. Please find more information at: www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5 (for Matlab, Python, C, etc.)
