NAME

       libmsnumpress         —             Implementations of two compression schemes for numeric
       data from mass spectrometers.

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the libmsnumpress software package.

       The library provides implementations of 3 different algorithms,  1  designed  to  compress
       first  order  smooth  data  like  retention  time or M/Z arrays, and 2 for compressing non
       smooth data with lower requirements on precision like ion count arrays.

Useful reading

       The  library  is documented fully in the  developer documentation, that is packaged in the
       libmsnumpress-dev-doc package. That documentation  is  available  in  the  form  of  HTML-
       formatted files (/usr/share/doc/libmsnumpress-dev-doc.pdf).
