history
Project history and usage
blitzwave is a small C++ wavelet mini-library built on the Blitz++ array template library. It sits in the scientific-computing corner of package indexes: niche, old-school C++, and useful when a project wants templated n-dimensional wavelet decomposition without a large framework.
Project history
The official README describes blitzwave as a C++ wavelet mini-library that supports wavelet decompositions of n-dimensional arrays across numerical data types, allows user-defined wavelets, and includes ready-to-use wavelets. GitHub metadata dates the repository to 2012, with tags visible for the 0.7 and 0.8 release line.
The README says the library is stable, mathematically correct, and has been used in production for several scientific projects known to the author, while noting that minor API changes may still occur.
Adoption history
Public package adoption appears modest but real: the input metadata records Homebrew and MacPorts packages. That is typical for a compact scientific C++ library whose user base is more likely to be downstream researchers and build systems than a broad CLI audience.
How it is used
The package installs `blitzwave-config`, reflecting a library-oriented workflow where build scripts query compiler and linker flags. Developers use blitzwave from C++ code together with Blitz++ arrays rather than as an end-user command-line tool.
Why package nerds care
blitzwave is notable as a survivor of the template-heavy scientific C++ ecosystem around Blitz++. Its package-manager value is less about popularity and more about keeping older numerical software buildable without vendoring a specialist wavelet library.
