rstar

A flexible, n-dimensional r*-tree implementation for the rust ecosystem.

Features

• A flexible r*-tree written in safe rust
• Supports custom point types
• Supports the insertion of user defined types
• Supported operations:
  • Insertion
  • Rectangle queries
  • Nearest neighbor
  • Nearest neighbor iteration
  • Locate at point
  • Element removal
  • efficient bulk loading
• Features geometric primitives that can readily be inserted into an r-tree:
  • Points (arrays with a constant size)
  • Lines
  • Rectangles
• Small number of dependencies
• Serde support with the serde feature
• no_std compatible (but requires alloc)

Benchmarks

All benchmarks are performed on a i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80Ghz and with uniformly distributed points. The underlying point type is [f64; 2].

Project state

The project is being actively developed, feature requests and PRs are welcome!

Documentation

The documentation is hosted on docs.rs.
