Re: Fast way of splitting an image into bit planes ? (How would you re-write this code for speed up ?)

Yeah it's good to do this other method as well.

Since I already have experience with the universal code method.

So more methods more joy, more compression possibilities.

Then later I might be able to integrate them all into a compression method

and then select the best one.

And decompression will simply be fast and select the necessary one as
well.

So then I will have at least 4 compression schemes into one. !

Actually even more.

1 horz,
2 vert,
3 frame
4 universal code
5 horz + vert
6 horz + vert + frame
7 horz + frame
8 vert + frame

Wow, 8 compression schemes, that gonna slow down the compressor but it's 
interesting to see how much compression can be achieved.

And ofcourse use could finally choose how many compression schemes to try.

Actually I could think about 3 more compression schemes:

4. universal code vert
5. universal code horz
6. universal code frame <- whhooooo un-analyzed ;) <- maybe bad idea, or 
maybe good idea, who knows ;) probably bad idea... I think I did do a
little 
bit of analysis ;) but still interesting to try one more time/.
no combinations though that would defeat it's purpose ;)
