Wrapper for compressed, serialized data (for stuff that doesn’t use the
default lz4 compression)
A grid of the z levels, left to right, top to bottom, like English prose.
Convenient for visualizing terrain for debugging or for user-inspectable
file formats, but wastes space if the number of z levels isn’t a perfect
square.
A wide, short image. Shares the advantage of not wasting space with
TallPacking (which is strictly worse, and was moved to benchmark code in
world
), but faster to compress and smaller since PNG compresses each
row independently, so a wide image has fewer calls to the compressor. FLIP_X
has the same spatial locality preserving behavior as with TallPacking.
