Description: [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/seung-lab/fpzip.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/seung-lab/fpzip) [![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/fpzip.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/fpzip)
        
        # fpzip
        
        Python C++ bindings for the fpzip algorithm (version 1.2.0). The version number for this package is independent. Python 2.7 and Python 3+ are supported.
        
        ```python
        import fpzip
        import numpy as np
        
        data = np.array(..., dtype=np.float32) # 3d or 4d float or double array
        compressed_bytes = fpzip.compress(data, precision=0) # b'...'
        # Back to 3d or 4d float or double array, decode as C (default) or F order.
        data_again = fpzip.decompress(compressed_bytes, order='F') 
        ```
        
        ## Installation
        
        *Requires C++ compiler.*
        
        `pip` Installation  
        
        Unfortunately, it's necessary to install numpy first because of a quirk in the Python installation procedure that won't easily recognize when a numpy installation completes in the same process. There are some hacks, but I haven't gotten them to work.
        
        ```bash
        pip install numpy
        pip install fpzip
        ```
        
        Direct Installation
        
        ```bash
        $ pip install numpy
        $ python setup.py develop
        ```
