[GEMPAK #VNN-182418]: Unable to plot H5 data in GEMPAK

Hello Rama,

Unfortunately, I can't offer a fix for you.  GEMPAK simple does not support 
displaying satellite imagery in H5 format.  McIDAS Area files and GINI images 
are supported.  If you can find a way to convert your data source to one of 
those formats you will be able to display those data, otherwise GEMPAK will not.

Best,

Michael James
