Details

Thresholded imwd objects are usually very large and contain many zero elements. This function compresses these objects into smaller "imwdc" objects by using the compress.default function and removing the zeroes.

compress.imwd is a method for the generic function compress for class imwd. The user shouldn't need to use this function directly.

uncompress.imwd uncompresses a imwdc object back into a imwd one. It is a method for the generic function uncompress() for class imwdc. It can be invoked by calling uncompress(x) for an object x of the appropriate class, or directly by calling uncompress.imwdc(x) regardless of the class of the object.
