## DESCRIPTION

**gpiv\_hdf2piv** *converts a HDF5 formatted file* *filename***.hdf**, containing PIV-data, PIV derived data, like vorticities, strain etc to (ASCII formatted) *filename***.piv**., *filename***.vor**, *filename***.sstr**, *filename***.nstr** and, eventually, image(s) to (PNG formatted) *filename***.png** files. The parameters that have been used for the analysis and post processing are written to *filename***.par**

This program does not use the parameter resources from libgpiv. The parameters may be defined by the command line options as explained below.
