Some processes do not accept raw vectors so it can be necessary to convert our vectors to integers.
interlace256(w, x, y = NULL, z = NULL)deinterlace256(u)
interlace256_columns(DT, new_colnames = 1L)
deinterlace256_columns(DT, new_colnames = 1L)
interlace256 Return an integer vector, compressing raw vectors.
deinterlace256 is the inverse operation, returning a list of four raw vectors.
Raw vectors. A vector may be NULL if fewer than four
vectors need to be compressed.
An integer vector.
A data.frame containing raw vectors to be interlaced.
A mechanism for producing the new columns. Currently only
1L is implemented, the default mechanism.
