Using the MATLAB High-Level Import Function

You can import data from an HDF or HDF-EOS file using the hdfread function. This function hides many of the low-level details required by the HDF protocol, described in Using the HDF Command-Line Interface.

For example, to read a data set in an HDF file using the low-level functions, you need to open the file, select the data set, read the data set, and close the file. The hdfread function performs these operations for you.
