Special Parameters

The GIT coding functions give you possibility to adjust the compression algorithm specifying the strategyHint parameter. This parameter suggests using different type of reordering the symbols in the alphabet in dependence on the input data. In some cases it can improve encoding. The table below lists the possible values of the strategyHint argument and their meanings.

Parameter *strategyHint* for GIT Encoding Functions
Value	Descriptions
ippGITNoStrategy	No strategy.
ippGITLeftReorder	Alphabet is reordered in such a way that more frequent symbols have less numbers (moved to the left).
ippGITRightReorder	Alphabet is reordered in such a way that more frequent symbols have greater numbers (move to right)
ippGITFixedOrder	Fixed alphabet order, no reordering
