Inherits from class H5T.
Object of class H5T_ENUM.
new(labels, values = seq_along(labels), id = NULL)Create an enumeration datatype. This is either a factor-like object or a logical variable (that is internally represented as an ENUM-type.
Parameters
The labels of the ENUM-type
The values corresponding to the labels
Internal use only
get_labels()Return all the labels of the enumeration type
get_values()Return the values of the enumeration type
set_size(size)Base type of every enum is H5T_INTEGER. This disables the set_size function
get_super()Returns H5T_INTEGER that is the base type of the enumeration
describe()Print a detailed description of the datatype; this is experimental
nucleotide_enum <- H5T_ENUM$new(labels=c("A", "C", "G", "T"), values=0:3)
