Hi,You can also read the hdf5 files with the rgdal package. This loads them into sp-objects, see the sp-package for more info. In the archives of the r-sig-geo mailing list there have been some other people (including myself :)) that have asked this question:

The library seems to load without issue, but no data is returned when I try to load a file: > library(hdf5) > hdf5load("test.h5") > NULLIs NULL the return of the hdf5load command or are you typing it on the command line? Anyway, .hdf5 files can contain several objects, just as R's .rda file. load() will load an .rda file and put all objects in that file into the workspace. Likewise, hdf5load() loads an hdf5 file and puts all objects in that file into the workspace.Yet, osx:data scott$ h5dump test.h5 HDF5 "test.h5" { GROUP "/" { DATASET "dset" { DATATYPE H5T_STD_I32LE DATASPACE SIMPLE { ( 31 ) / ( 31 ) } DATA { (0): 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, (14): 16384, 32768, 65536, 131072, 262144, 524288, 1048576, 2097152, (22): 4194304, 8388608, 16777216, 33554432, 67108864, 134217728, (28): 268435456, 536870912, 1073741824 } } } } Any thoughts?Did you try an ls() after the hdf5load() command? If the hdf5load() command was successfull, an ls() should show you that an object with name "dset" is now in your workspace; if I read the output above correctly. HTH.
