package nom.tam.fits.compression.algorithm.plio

(for internal use) PLIO compression algorithm. The original decompression code was written by Doug Tody, NRAO and included (ported to C and adapted) in cfitsio by William Pence, NASA/GSFC. That code was then ported to Java by R. van Nieuwenhoven. Later it was massively refactored to harmonize the different compression algorithms and reduce the duplicate code pieces without obscuring the algorithm itself as good as possible. It's weird that it's a package by itself, but that's life.
