/**
*
* (for internal use) Tile compression support for images and tables. By dividing up large images into smaller
* 'tiles' and compressing them separately, it is easy to retrieve select areas of the image without having to
* decompress the whole thing. Thus it provides a more efficient way of storing large images while maintaining efficient
* access to any part of it on demand.
*
*
* The classes of these package are used internally, e.g. by {@link nom.tam.image.compression.hdu.CompressedImageHDU}
* and {@link nom.tam.image.compression.hdu.CompressedTableHDU}, which are typically the main compression classes the
* user will interact with.
*

* @see nom.tam.image.compression.hdu.CompressedImageHDU
