Routines
top source pp_titanbrowse_datacompress
pp_titanbrowse_datacompress, savefile [, compress=compress]
Changes the use of compression in pp_titanbrowse's data files (both for pp_titanbrowse_db and pp_titanbrowse_metadb). This rotuine is necessary, instead of just opening and saving the files, to properly handle the references to the heap variables stored.
The files are provided compressed for faster downloads, and can be used in that way. But if the user want to trade disk space for lower processor use (and, potentially, faster operation, if the disk is fast enough), this routine can be used to decompress the files.
This rotuine can take several minutes to run, as all datafiles currently add to tens of GB.
Parameters
- savefile in required
The name of the savefile to compress/decompress.
Keywords
- compress in optional default=1B
Determines whether the created files will be compressed.
Examples
To decompress all pp_titanbrowse's ir channel files in the current directory:
fl=file_search('covims_????_ir*.sav') ;find the files
for i=0,n_elements(fl)-1 do pp_titanbrowse_datacompress,fl[i],compress=0
