h5createAttribute {rhdf5} | R Documentation |
R function to create an HDF5 attribute and defining its dimensionality.
h5createAttribute (obj, attr, dims, maxdims = dims, file, storage.mode = "double", H5type = NULL, size=NULL, cset = c("ASCII", "UTF8"), native = FALSE)
obj |
The name (character) of the object the attribute will be attatched to. For advanced programmers it is possible to provide an object of class |
file |
