DESCRIPTION

Compress a (thresholded) imwd class object by removing zeroes.

USAGE

compress.imwd(imwd, verbose=F)

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

imwd
Object to compress. Compression only does anything on thresholded imwd objects.

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

verbose
If this is true then report on compression activity.

VALUE

An object of type "imwdc" representing the compressed imwd object.

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 which removing the zeroes. This function is a method for the generic function compress for class imwd objects. It can be invoked by calling compress for an object of the appropriate class, or directly by calling compress.imwd regardless of the class of the object.
