Being able to formulate much more flexible queries on the object tree and getting back a flat result list is very valuable. Reaching the same level as the SQLite implementation would still need quite some time. -- Robert M.

In general, your object tree already is the equivalent of an R-tree, i.e., just doing hit-testing in the objects themselves should be just as efficient. An (R-tree) index is more useful when you have a bunch of independent object that are not already organized in a tree.

[sqlite] R*Tree / In Memory Database / GUI Object Hit Testing
Hi, I’m wondering if the R*Tree index of Sqlite could be used to implement GUI object hit testing? Scenario: We have a 2D scene-graph for our GUI, which does an automatic layout of objects following the CSS grid idea. So, we build up the graph, run layout and get back the coordinates where to render things. We could populate a r*tree table with (runtime-object-memory-pointer, x0, y0, x1, y0) pretty easy. Now the user clicks the mouse somewhere, and we would like to get back all rectangles that were hit. Since we don’t have any overlapping we could even sort the rectangles by size and get the whole tree-path to the leaf rectangle back. Since we would implement a R*Tree anyway for hit testing and use Sqlite in our app, I can imagine that using it might really be nice here. IMO if everything is running in memory, this should be very efficient. We are talking maybe about 5000 entries. What do you think? Or maybe any experiences with such a setup? -- Robert M.
