Package nom.tam.image.compression.bintable

package nom.tam.image.compression.bintable

(for internal use) Compression support for binary tables. These are classes that are used internally by CompressedTableHDU. They should not have been exposed to users, but oh well. It's a bit misleading that the package name implies images, when this is not at all related to FITS images, but oh well. The principle of compression is however similar, with large binary tables being broken into 'tiles' consisting of a few rows typically, which are then compressed with an algorihtm of choice.
