Modern particle tracking codes with their parallel processing capabilities generate data files of the order of 100 Gigabytes. Thus they make very high demands on file formats and post-processing software. H5PartROOT is a versatile and powerful tool addressing this issue. Based on ROOT, CERN's object-oriented data analysis framework developed for the requirements of the LHC era, and the HDF5 hierarchical data format, supplemented by an accelerator-specific interface called H5Part, H5PartROOT combines the statistical and graphical capabilities of ROOT with the versatility and performance of the HDF5 technology suite to meet the needs of the accelerator community. Providing the user with both a graphical user interface (data browser) and a shared library to be used in an interactive or batch ROOT session, H5PartROOT passes on the full power of ROOT without presupposing any knowledge about the intricacies of either ROOT or C++.
