org.apache.poi.hdgf.HDGFLZW

public class HDGFLZW
extends LZWDecompresser

A decoder for the crazy LZW implementation used in Visio. According to VSDump, "it's a slightly perverted version of LZW compression, with inverted meaning of flag byte and 0xFEE as an 'initial shift'". It uses 12 bit codes (http://www.gnome.ru/projects/vsdump_en.html) Two good resources on LZW are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZW http://marknelson.us/1989/10/01/lzw-data-compression/

compress

public byte[] compress(InputStream src)
                throws IOException

Compress the given input stream, returning the array of bytes of the compressed input

Parameters:

src - the compression source byte

Returns:

the compressed stream as bytes

Throws:

IOException - when the InputStream can't be read

public void compress(InputStream src,
 OutputStream res)
              throws IOException

Performs the Visio compatible streaming LZW compression.

Parameters:

src - the input bytes for the compression

res - the OutputStream which receives the compressed bytes

Throws:

IOException - when the InputStream can't be read or the OutputStream can't be written to
