RHIntervalTree

An Objective-C implementation of a Centred Interval Tree.

RHIntervalTree provides an Objective-C wrapper around an internal C++ Interval Tree implementation by Erik Garrison.

Overview

An interval tree can be used to efficiently find a set of numeric intervals overlapping or containing another interval, for example a view containing overlapping calendar events for a given day or week.

They can also be used for windowing queries, for instance, to find all roads on a computerised map inside a rectangular viewport, or to find all visible elements inside a three-dimensional scene.

Classes

• RHIntervalTree - main interface to the Interval Tree.
• RHInterval - convenience container class for objects passed into the Interval Tree.
• RHIntervalProtocol - RHInterval implements this protocol, so can you.

Getting Started

Include RHIntervalTree.h in your project. (RHIntervalTree.mm is a Objective-C++ file hence its extension)

#import <RHIntervalTree.h>

Setting up a tree.

NSArray *intervals = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                     [RHInterval intervalWithRange:NSMakeRange(5, 3) object:@"one"],
                     [RHInterval intervalWithRange:NSMakeRange(7, 100) object:@"two"],
                     [RHInterval intervalWithRange:NSMakeRange(5, 5) object:@"three"],
                     [RHInterval intervalWithRange:NSMakeRange(2, 8) object:@"four"],
                     nil];

RHIntervalTree *tree = [[RHIntervalTree alloc] initWithIntervalObjects:intervals];
        

Performing a query

NSArray *overlappingObjects = [tree overlappingObjectsBetweenStart:77 andStop:220];

Interface

@interface RHIntervalTree : NSObject

-(id)initWithIntervalObjects:(NSArray*)intervals; //all added objects should implement the RHIntervalProtocol

-(NSInteger)minStart;
-(NSInteger)maxStop;

-(NSArray*)allObjects;

//Contained methods return objects fully contained within the start and stop(inclusive) coordinates.
-(NSArray*)containedObjectsInRange:(NSRange)range;
-(NSArray*)containedObjectsBetweenStart:(NSInteger)start andStop:(NSInteger)stop;

//Overlapping methods return objects which are contained or partially overlap the start and stop(inclusive) coordinates.
-(NSArray*)overlappingObjectsInRange:(NSRange)range;
-(NSArray*)overlappingObjectsBetweenStart:(NSInteger)start andStop:(NSInteger)stop;
