neurotools.util.hdfmat module

Routines for handling the new-style .mat files, which are secretly .hdf files

neurotools.util.hdfmat.getHDFvalue(hdf, d, squeeze=True, detectString=True, detectScalar=True)

Unpack a value from a HDF5 file

Parameters:

• hdf (hdf file or subdirectory object)

• path (string) – Subpath to extract within hdf file or subdirectory object

neurotools.util.hdfmat.getHDF(hdf, path, sep=None, squeeze=True, detectString=True, detectScalar=True)

Retrieve path from nested dictionary obtained from an HDF5 file. Path separator is /.

Parameters:

• hdf (hdf file or subdirectory object)

• path (string) – Subpath to extract within hdf file or subdirectory object

Return type:

extracted hdf file or subdirectory object

neurotools.util.hdfmat.hdf2dict(d)

Recursively convert HFDF5 Matlab outbut into a nested dict

neurotools.util.hdfmat.printmatHDF5(d)

formatted printing for .mat style dicts

neurotools.util.hdfmat.recursive_printmatHDF5(d, prefix=' ')
