last version : 0.1.4 03102018 nhw

This codec allows to compress a bitmap color image (with 512x512 size for the moment) using notably a wavelet transform.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

encoder option:  nhw_encoder.exe filename.bmp
		     nhw_encoder.exe filename.bmp -h3
		     nhw_encoder.exe filename.bmp -h2
		     nhw_encoder.exe filename.bmp -h1
		     nhw_encoder.exe filename.bmp -l1
		     nhw_encoder.exe filename.bmp -l2
		     nhw_encoder.exe filename.bmp -l3
		     nhw_encoder.exe filename.bmp -l4
		     nhw_encoder.exe filename.bmp -l5


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

decoder:	     nhw_decoder.exe filename.nhw

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- To encode and decode an image (512x512 bitmap color) it is faster on this version to just make "slide" the image or compressed .nhw file on the encoder or decoder executable. -
