Greetings,
In an attempt to reduce the size of the files required for my
application, I would like to gzip them and then unzip and read one file
at a time.
Can this be done "on the fly" and then read into Plain.open() and/or
VisADForm.open()?
Something like
public static FieldImpl readGZipFile(String Filename)
{
FieldImpl r_field;
visad.data.visad.VisADForm input = new visad.data.visad.VisADForm(true);
try
{
r_field = (FieldImpl) input.readData(
new visad.data.visad.BinaryReader(
new GZIPInputStream(
new FileInputStream(Filename) ) )
);
}
catch (Exception ioe)
{ System.err.println("TerrainBlockage (readGZipFile): " + ioe); }
return r_field;
}
I've tried this and since readData() is "package private" it will not
compile (blatantly showing my Java ignorance ;-)
Many thanks!!
-kevin.
