// <synopsis> 
// CompressComplex is a virtual column engine which scales an array
// of one type to another type to save disk storage.
// This resembles the classic AIPS compress method which scales the
// data from Complex to int.
// The scale factor and offset values can be given in two ways:
// <ul>
//  <li> As a fixed values which is used for all arrays in the column.
//       These values have to be given when constructing of the engine.
//  <li> As the name of a column. In this way each array in the
//         column has its own scale and offset value.
//         By default it uses auto-scaling (see below).
//         Otherwise the scale and offset value in a row must be put
//         before the array is put and should not be changed anymore.
// </ul>
// Auto-scaling means that the engine will determine the scale
// and offset value itself when an array (or a slice) is put.
// It does it by mapping the values in the array to the range [-32767,32767].
// At each put the scale/offset values are changed as needed.
// Note that with auto-scaling <src>putSlice</src> can be somewhat
// slower, because the entire array might need to be rescaled.
//
// As in FITS the scale and offset values are used as:
// <br><src> True_value = Stored_value * scale + offset; </src>
//
// An engine object should be used for one column only, because the stored
// column name is part of the engine. If it would be used for more than
// one column, they would all share the same stored column.
// When the engine is bound to a column, it is checked if the name
// of that column matches the given virtual column name.
//
// The engine can be used for a column containing any kind of array
// (thus direct or indirect, fixed or variable shaped)) as long as the
// virtual array can be stored in the stored array. Thus a fixed shaped
// virtual can use a variable shaped stored, but not vice versa.
// A fixed shape indirect virtual can use a stored with direct arrays.
//
// This class can also serve as an example of how to implement
// a virtual column engine.
// </synopsis> 

// <motivation>
// This class allows to store data in a smaller representation.
// It is needed to resemble the classic AIPS compress option.
//
// Because the engine can serve only one column, it was possible to
// combine the engine and the column functionality in one class.
// </motivation>

// <example>
// <srcblock>
// // Create the table description and 2 columns with indirect arrays in it.
// // The Int column will be stored, while the double will be
// // used as virtual.
// TableDesc tableDesc ("", TableDesc::Scratch);
// tableDesc.addColumn (ArrayColumnDesc<Int> ("storedArray"));
// tableDesc.addColumn (ArrayColumnDesc<Complex> ("virtualArray"));
// tableDesc.addColumn (ScalarColumnDesc<Complex> ("scale"));
// tableDesc.addColumn (ScalarColumnDesc<Float> ("offset"));
//
// // Create a new table using the table description.
// SetupNewTable newtab (tableDesc, "tab.data", Table::New);
//
// // Create the array scaling engine (with auto-scale)
// // and bind it to the Complex column.
// CompressComplex scalingEngine("virtualArray", "storedArray",
//                               "scale", "offset");
// newtab.bindColumn ("virtualArray", scalingEngine);
// // Create the table.
// Table table (newtab);
//
// // Store a 3-D array (with dim. 2,3,4) into each row of the column.
// // The shape of each array in the column is implicitly set by the put
// // function. This will also set the shape of the underlying Int array.
// ArrayColumn data (table, "virtualArray");
// Array<double> someArray(IPosition(4,2,3,4));
// someArray = 0;
// for (uInt i=0, i<10; i++) {          // table will have 10 rows
//     table.addRow();
//     data.put (i, someArray)
// }

// </prerequisite>

// <synopsis> 
// CompressComplexSD is similar to CompressComplex, but compresses
// in a slighty different way optimized for single dish data.
// Usually the imaginary part of single dish data is 0, so the scaling
// is optimized for it.
// <br>If the imaginary part is 0, the real part is scaled with 15 bits
// extra to get a higher precision. The least significant bit is set to 0
// indicating the imag==0.
// <br>If the imaginary part is not 0, the real part is scaled normally.
// The imaginary part is scaled with 1 bit less. The least significant bit
// is set to 1 indicating that imag!=0.
// </synopsis> 

// <motivation>
// This class is created on top of CompressComplex to cope with SD data
// in a better way. Using CompressComplex often makes the imag part non-zero
// if it is scaled as 0.
