NAME

Tree::R - Perl extension for the R-tree data structure and algorithms

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use Tree::R;
my $rtree = Tree::R->new
for my $object (@objects) {
    my @bbox = $object->bbox(); # (minx,miny,maxx,maxy)
    $rtree->insert($object,@bbox);
}
my @point = (123, 456); # (x,y)
my @results;
$rtree->query_point(@point,\@results);
for my $object (@results) {
    # point is in object's bounding box
}
my @rect = (123, 456, 789, 1234); # (minx,miny,maxx,maxy)
@results = ();
$rtree->query_completely_within_rect(@rect,\@results);
for my $object (@results) {
    # object is within rectangle
}
@results = ();
$rtree->query_partly_within_rect(@rect,\@results);
for my $object (@results) {
    # object's bounding box and rectangle overlap
}
            
          

DESCRIPTION
