units with hdf5

[BRISSET, Nicolas]

Hi Manuel,

After quickly checking the code at https://github.com/Kst-plot/kst/blob/master/src/datasources/hdf5/hdf5.cpp I would say that meta data attached to the vectors in HDF5 are not read in, that is why you don't see them.
If you look at the method starting at line 222 of https://github.com/Kst-plot/kst/blob/master/src/datasources/netcdf/netcdfsource.cpp you should be able to understand the difference.

As I'm not the author of the HDF5 datasource, and the code is not trivial, I may be wrong but that's quite probable. Note that since netCDF moved to HDF5 as backend a few months ago, if the netCDF library is properly compiled it may be able to open the HDF5 files. That's what I had hoped anyway, but never really got around to going the complete way. And now there's also a HDF5 source of its own, which is probably cleaner.

Best regards,

Nicolas
