Class PackBitsEncoder

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Encoder

    public final class PackBitsEncoder
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements Encoder
    Encoder implementation for Apple PackBits run-length encoding.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    PackBits is a fast, simple compression scheme for run-length encoding of data.

    Apple introduced the PackBits format with the release of MacPaint on the Macintosh computer. This compression scheme is one of the types of compression that can be used in TIFF-files.

    A PackBits data stream consists of packets of one byte of header followed by data. The header is a signed byte; the data can be signed, unsigned, or packed (such as MacPaint pixels).

    PackBits
    Header byteData
    0 to 127 1 + n literal bytes of data
    0 to -127 One byte of data, repeated 1 - n times in the decompressed output
    -128 No operation

    Note that interpreting 0 as positive or negative makes no difference in the output. Runs of two bytes adjacent to non-runs are typically written as literal data.
