Gilles commented on GEOMETRY-32:
--------------------------------
Hi Matt.
Sorry for the delay in replying: I had missed your comment (and perhaps
others?).
I'm still a total newbie with BSP. :(
Would it be possible at this point to draft a user guide with usage examples?
Even better would be to accompany it with a "commons-geometry-examples" module.
It would not be part of the official code but would illustrate common tasks
(a.o. loading/saving/manipulating datasets), and be a playground for further
discussion.
WDYT?
> BSPTree Updates
> ---------------
>
> Key: GEOMETRY-32
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEOMETRY-32
> Project: Apache Commons Geometry
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Reporter: Matt Juntunen
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The following updates should be made to the BSPTree class:
> - add an {{isLeaf()}} method to replace all of the {{node.getCut() == null}}
> expressions
> - add unit tests
> _Edit [2019-02-17]:_
> Additional goals:
> - Refactor the API to split the idea of a general BSPTree and a BSPTree used
> for defining in/out regions. This could result in a BSPTree interface and a
> RegionBSPTree interface. The goal here is to allow end-users to create their
> own extensions of these classes and specialize them for their own
> applications (for example, to implement spatial sorting or other algorithms).
> This will be one of the only planned extension points in the library.
> - Make the API easier to use and extend and reduce the necessity of casting
> (especially unchecked casting) as much as possible.
> - Add the idea of convex subhyperplanes to allow for more efficient tree
> construction.
