public interface Codec
extends SCIFIOPlugin, org.scijava.plugin.SingletonPlugin

This class is an interface for any kind of compression or decompression. Data is presented to the compressor in a 1D or 2D byte array, with (optionally, depending on the compressor) pixel dimensions and an Object containing any other options the compressor may need. If an argument is not appropriate for the compressor type, it is expected to completely ignore the argument. i.e.: Passing a compressor that does not require pixel dimensions null for the dimensions must not cause the compressor to throw a NullPointerException. Classes implementing the Codec interface are expected to either implement both compression methods or neither. (The same is expected for decompression).

Compresses a block of data.

Parameters:

data - The data to be compressed.

options - Options to be used during compression, if appropriate.

Returns:

The compressed data.

Throws:

FormatException - If input is not a compressed data block of the appropriate type.

decompress

byte[] decompress(byte[] data,
                  CodecOptions options)
           throws FormatException

Decompresses a block of data.

Parameters:

data - the data to be decompressed

options - Options to be used during decompression.

Returns:

the decompressed data.
