Class "rleDiff" of rle(diff(.)) Stored Vectors

Description

Class "rleDiff" is for compactly storing long vectors which mainly consist of linear stretches. For such a vector x, diff(x) consists of constant stretches and is hence well compressable via rle().

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("rleDiff", ...).

Currently experimental, see below.

Slots

first:

A single number (of class "numIndex" which is currently the same as "numeric").

rle:

Object of class "rle", basically a list with components "lengths" and "values", see rle.

Methods

No methods defined with class "rleDiff" in the signature.

Note

This is currently an experimental auxiliary class for the class abIndex, see there.
