HDF Vset can accomodate existing HDF data elements as well as varied, irregularly structured, and non-uniform datasets of any size and dimension. HDF Vset supports the following features: - all kinds of regular (array-type) and irregular datasets may be stored in one HDF file. This includes mesh data, multivariate datasets, sparse matrices, finite-element data, spreadsheets, splines, non-Cartesian coordinate data, and so forth. - related and diverse datasets can be linked together hierarchically to form logical groupings.
