compression_level Property

The compression level to use.

Syntax

def get_compression_level() -> int: ...
def set_compression_level(value: int) -> None: ...

compression_level = property(get_compression_level, set_compression_level)

Default Value

4

Remarks

The compression level to use, from 1 to 6. Higher values will cause the component to compress better; lower values will cause the component to compress faster.

When get_compression_stream is invoked the stream will be created with the specified compression level. After a stream has been created it is independent of the control, and changing compression_level will have no effect on existing streams.
