HDF5 viewers/editors linux

An answer to this question on Stack Overflow.

Question

HDFVIEW is pretty good, but are there any alternatives?

It would be great to be able to change things like chunking/compression settings - hdfview doesn't have that functionality - without having to resort loading the files in using Java/python/whatever.

Answer

Panoply has worked quite well for me in terms of visualization: it draws maps! Seeing the raw data... that's a bit harder.
