What is libkdtree++-dev
libkdtree++-dev is:
libkdtree++ is a C++ template container implementation of k-dimensional space sorting, using a kd-tree. It:
- supports an unlimited number of dimensions (in theory)
- can store any data structure, provided the data structure provides operator[0 - k-1] to access the individual dimensional components (arrays, std::vector already do) and a std::less implementation for the type of dimensional components
- has support for custom allocators
- implements iterators
- provides standard find as well as range queries
- has amortised O(lg n) time (O(n lg n) worst case) on most operations (insert/erase/find optimised) and worst-case O(n) space
- provides a means to rebalance and thus optimise the tree
- exists in its own namespace
- uses STL coding style, basing a lot of the code on stl_tree.h
libkdtree++ only exists as a -dev package as it’s only a bunch of C++ header files. Therefore, no static or shared library is necessary, allowing for ultimate flexibility.
