Method Details

isUnsigned

boolean isUnsigned()

Gets the unsigned flag.

Returns:

true if the primitive data values are unsigned.

getPackingScheme

PackingScheme getPackingScheme()

Gets the packing scheme. A packing scheme is used to reduce the size of floating point data to store in an integer value.

Returns:

the packing scheme or null if the chunk data is not packed.
