Public Shared Function vlenCreate ( _ baseId As H5DataTypeId _ ) As H5DataTypeId |
| C# |

public static H5DataTypeId vlenCreate ( H5DataTypeId baseId ) |

public: static H5DataTypeId^ vlenCreate ( H5DataTypeId^ baseId ) |
Parameters
- baseId (H5DataTypeId)
- Base type of datatype to create.
Remarks
H5Tvlen_create creates a new variable-length (VL) datatype.
The base datatype will be the datatype that the sequence is composed of, characters for character strings, vertex coordinates for polygon lists, etc. The base type specified for the VL datatype can be of any HDF5 datatype, including another VL datatype, a compound datatype or an atomic datatype.
When necessary, use H5Tget_super to determine the base type of the VL datatype.
The datatype identifier returned from this function should be released with H5Tclose or resource leaks will result.
