# Quadtree

[![Current Crates.io Version](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/quadtree.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/quadtree)

[![Documentation](https://img.shields.io/badge/Docs-latest-blue)](https://docs.rs/quadtree/latest/quadtree/)

This Quadtree library provides efficient spatial querying capabilities for 2D

points. It supports various operations such as insertion, and rectangular and

circular querying, making it suitable for applications in areas such as gaming,

geographical information systems, and real-time simulations.

## Features

- **Generic Implementation**: `Quadtree` works with any data type `T` that

implements the `Point` and `Clone` traits.

- **Spatial Queries**: Supports querying within spatial regions that implement

the `Shape` trait (`Rect` and `Circle` are provided).

- **Dynamic Operations**: Efficiently perform mutating operations without full

rebuilds.

  - insert

  - insert_many

  - delete

  - pop

- **Barnes-Hut Approximation**: The `BHQuadtree` is provided for [Barnes-Hut

approximation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes%E2%80%93Hut_simulation) of

n-body simulations. An interactive explanation of this algorithm can be found

[here](https://jheer.github.io/barnes-hut/). This implementation is heavily

inspired by [DeadlockCode's Barnes-Hut

implementation](https://github.com/DeadlockCode/barnes-hut/tree/improved).

- **Serde Serialization**: Enable the `"serde"` feature to serialize the

Quadtree and provided shapes. A `Quadtree` will serialize into a sequence of

items of type `T`.
