\title{Class "rleDiff" of rle(diff(.)) Stored Vectors}

\description{
Class \code{"rleDiff"} is for compactly storing long vectors
which mainly consist of \emph{linear} stretches. For such a vector
\code{x}, \code{\link{diff}(x)} consists of \emph{constant} stretches
and is hence well compressable via \code{\link{rle}()}.
}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("rleDiff", ...)}.
Currently experimental, see below.
}
\section{Slots}{
\describe{
\item{\code{first}:}{A single number (of class \code{"numLike"},
a class union of \code{"numeric"} and \code{"logical"}).}
\item{\code{rle}:}{Object of class \code{"rle"}, basically a
\code{\link{list}} with components \code{"lengths"} and
\code{"values"}, see \code{\link{rle}()}. As this is used to
encode potentially huge index vectors, \code{lengths} may be of
type \code{\link{double}} here.}
}
}
\section{Methods}{
There is a simple \code{\link{show}} method only.% currently
}
\note{
This is currently an \emph{experimental} auxiliary class
for the class \code{\linkS4class{abIndex}}, see there.
}
\seealso{
\code{\link{rle}}, \code{\linkS4class{abIndex}}.
}
\examples{
showClass("rleDiff")
ab <- c(abIseq(2, 100), abIseq(20, -2))
ab@rleD # is "rleDiff"
