It depends on the filename; specifying "foo.nc" saves the file in netCDF format, "foo.vad" saves in VisAD format, etc. However, only FITS, HDF5, netCDF, and VisAD have save() methods, so "foo.gif" will end up saved in FITS format (since that's the first method on DefaultFamily's list.) I suppose this should be a bit more intelligent... > Also, with open method, what types will it open? Right now, FITS, GIF/JPG/PNG, HDF-EOS, netCDF, Vis5D, VisAD, McIDAS AREA and HDF5 are supported. If those aren't enough for you, adding new a data type to DefaultFamily is easy (once you've done the "trivial" work of writing a VisAD file adaptor :-)
