Non-standard bit width for data segments

[BastienDussap]

In line 452 of flowdata.py, you warn Non-standard bit width for data segments with the comment # non-standard bit width... Does this happen?.

In the Data File Standard for Flow Cytometry – Version FCS 3.2 (http://flowcyt.sf.net/fcs/fcs32.pdf) page 39 (3.3.38), the example given uses 10 bits. and I have come across a file (not a .fcs but a .LMD) that was encoded using 10bits.

Maybe it would be nice to adapt the function __parse_int_data to manage int coded using 10bits.

Hi Bastien,

Apologies it's taken so long for me to reply. I'd be interested in having support for that, especially as the 3.2 spec still allows it (though it is deprecated). If we could locate some example files, we can plan to add it for a future release. Related to that would be any 3.2 examples to also support the new mixed data types allowed in 3.2. If you have or know of any publicly available files for any of these cases, let me know.

Thanks,
Scott
