Class LZWDecompresser

java.lang.Object
org.apache.poi.util.LZWDecompresser
Direct Known Subclasses:
CompressedRTF, HDGFLZW

public abstract class LZWDecompresser extends Object
This class provides common functionality for the various LZW implementations in the different file formats. It's currently used by HDGF and HMEF. Two good resources on LZW are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZW http://marknelson.us/1989/10/01/lzw-data-compression/

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    protected abstract int
    Adjusts the position offset if needed when looking something up in the dictionary.
    byte[]
    Decompresses the given input stream, returning the array of bytes of the decompressed input.
    void
    Perform a streaming decompression of the input.
    static int
    fromByte(byte b)
    Given a java byte, turn it into an integer between 0 and 255 (i.e.
    static byte
    fromInt(int b)
    Given an integer, turn it into a java byte, handling the wrapping.
    protected abstract int
    populateDictionary(byte[] dict)
    Populates the dictionary, and returns where in it to begin writing new codes.

  • Method Details

    • populateDictionary

      protected abstract int populateDictionary(byte[] dict)
      Populates the dictionary, and returns where in it to begin writing new codes. Generally, if the dictionary is pre-populated, then new codes should be placed at the end of that block. Equally, if the dictionary is left with all zeros, then usually the new codes can go in at the start.
    • adjustDictionaryOffset

      protected abstract int adjustDictionaryOffset(int offset)
      Adjusts the position offset if needed when looking something up in the dictionary.
    • decompress

      public byte[] decompress(InputStream src) throws IOException
      Decompresses the given input stream, returning the array of bytes of the decompressed input.
      Throws:
      IOException
    • decompress

      public void decompress(InputStream src, OutputStream res) throws IOException
      Perform a streaming decompression of the input. Works by: 1) Reading a flag byte, the 8 bits of which tell you if the following 8 codes are compressed our un-compressed 2) Consider the 8 bits in turn 3) If the bit is set, the next code is un-compressed, so add it to the dictionary and output it 4) If the bit isn't set, then read in the length and start position in the dictionary, and output the bytes there 5) Loop until we've done all 8 bits, then read in the next flag byte
      Throws:
      IOException
    • fromInt

      public static byte fromInt(int b)
      Given an integer, turn it into a java byte, handling the wrapping. This is a convenience method
    • fromByte

      public static int fromByte(byte b)
      Given a java byte, turn it into an integer between 0 and 255 (i.e. handle the unwrapping). This is a convenience method
