#' Converts double to base64 character.
#'
#' This function converts a \code{double} vector to a base64 encoded
#' \code{character} vector.
#'
#' @param x \code{double}, vector
#' @param size \code{integer}, number of bytes per element in the byte stream
#'  (see \code{size} in \code{\link[base]{writeBin}}).
#' @param endian \code{character}, the endian-ness
#'  (see \code{endian} in \code{\link[base]{writeBin}}).
#' @param compressionType \code{character}, type of compression to use for
#'  compression of \code{x} (see \code{type} in
#'  \code{\link[base]{memCompress}}.
#' @return Vector of type \code{character}.
