htmIndex Documentation


This is the documentation of the htmIndex package.


htmIndex

The htmIndex package contains the java implementation of the HTM Index. All classes are prefixed 'Spatial'. The index is an instance of the SpatialIndex class. The current implementation only builds level-trees, i.e. different depths at different branches of the HTM quad-tree are not supported.

To read up on what the HTM Index is and what it is used for, please visit the HTM Home Page at the Johns Hopkins University.

htm3D

The htm3D package is a little visualization program of the htmIndex. It is written in Java3D, so please download and install the Java3D API on your system before running it. See the Java3D Homepage for details.

The viewer can be run by issuing

java jhu.htm3D.htm3DViewer

The htmExamples package contains executables to demonstrate the usage of the htmIndex. They are

Please browse the documentation on how to use these example code. Usually, you will take one of these examples as the starting position of your own development with htmIndex.
