[Paraview] HDF5 and Paraview

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

Hdf5 is very flexible so one reader cannot cope with all possibilities. You need to know which hdf5 reader you need and target that format

Subject: [Paraview] HDF5 and Paraview

Hello,

I dont understand something. In all of Paraview manuals it says that it is compatible with HDF5 file format. I am using Paraview 3.98.
I wrote a data file using HDF for fortran and generated a file (filename.h5). But when I am tried to open it, "*.h5" was not in the list of supported
file formats.

Paraview gives me the message "A reader for filename.h5 could not be found. Please choose one: <followed by a long list of readers>".
Even in that long list there are no HDF5 readers, so I just started trying everything and finally succeeded with "NetCDF files generic and
CF conventions" (I don't even know what it is).

But it is not reassuring. I don't know if this will work for any other data set. Am I missing something here?

Thanks
Pradeep
