title: Can anyone recommend a lossless compression algo for compressing x and y coordinates?
body: <p>I am needing some advice on a compression algo to compress x and y data coordinates. I am coding in Matlab. I have been doing quite a bit of research and came across Huffman Coding,LZW, Delta etc. What I can figure out from Huffman is, data needs to be sorted alphabetically prior to encoding?? This may be of no use to me as It would only work for x cordinates? Or is there a way around this? Any recommendations would be very appreciated. Thank you</p>
