Re: How do I send an HDF dataset to a ClearSilver template?

There is no way for the template to read the file.

Code has to generate the HDF before its handed to the CS to render.

Somewhere in the trac source code, there is a call to neo_util.HDF() to
generate the HDF data structure.  That data structure is passed to the
template when the CS is created (neo_cs.CS(hdf)).  Its that HDF you need
to modify.  Using an HDF file is usually only for when you've
pre-generated some static data into a file, normally you would just set
your data directly on the HDF.
