Package nom.tam.image.compression.tile


package nom.tam.image.compression.tile

(for internal use) Tile compression support for images and tables. By dividing up large images into smaller 'tiles' and compressing them separately, it is easy to retrieve select areas of the image without having to decompress the whole thing. Thus it provides a more efficient way of storing large images while maintaining efficient access to any part of it on demand.

The classes of these package are used internally, e.g. by CompressedImageHDU and CompressedTableHDU, which are typically the main compression classes the user will interact with.
