/**
 * <p>
 * (<i>for internal use</i>) 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.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * 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.
 * </p>
