CLASS

  HashLink



  Template serves as the main engine of the geometric hash table. Classes

  defined are used by GeomHash to build, traverse and query a multi-dimensional

  hash-table.



KEYWORDS

  geometric, hash, iterator, query, container

CHANGES LOG

<UL>

  <LI>5/12/13 - change short to int

  </LI>

  <LI>27/02/02 - Dina Duhovny & Oranit Shem-Tov:

    - GeomHashParams - We refer to the dimension attribute as the dimension

      of the overall geometric hash. Previously, this attribute was reffered

      to as the index of the last axis (i.e. dimension-1).

      Axis explanation by an example:

      Assume a 2D geometric hash. It's axes are numbered as 0 (the x-axis) & 1 (the y-axis).

    - Defining cube size for each axis. Previously, there was only one value

      for all the axis. It is usefull for storing data and a key, composed of

      several components, each one of them has a different scale. For example,

      a 4D key, composed of a 3D coordinates and a type.

    - Defining query ranges - for querying, within a different radius for axis.

      the previous get function turned to getInfinite. New get function returns

      the results of query by cutting each axis with different radii

  </LI>

  <LI>8/8/99 - Ram Nathaniel:<BR>

    Add support for GeomHash bucket iteration - method

    getAll(int dim, vector<Bucket *>* result) const;

   </LI>

   <LI>7/11/99- Zipi Fligelman <br>

   getAll added by Ram does not exist in that format anymore.

   There are 4 new functions:

   1. getAllNotEmpty - that recieves either a hash result or a pointer to a vector of

      pointers to buckets, this will return all the non empty backets in the ALL

      the table

   2. getAll - that really gets it all including the empty buckets in the last level

      it can recieve the same parameters as getAllNotEmpty, but the user must take

      extra care when processing it later not to fall into a segmentation fault.

   3. There is a defintion of vector<const Bucket*> as BucketsPointerList.

      </LI>

  <LI> 15/5/03 - M. Shatsky

  Copy constructor is added

  </LI>

</UL>

GOALS

  HashLink is the main engine of the geometric hash table. It is responisble

  for construction, traversal and querying of a multi-dimensional hash table.

  The class is wrapped with the GeomHash class which packages the complex

  methods and intricate implementation of HashLink with simple methods

  that can be used immediately. No methods of the class are public because

  this class was not meant to be used directly.



  A template instance is declared using a key class KeyT which defines the

  means by which the hash table is referenced and queried and a data class

  DataT which defines the data the hash table holds. It is assumed that DataT

  has an operator[] which will return floating point coordinates for each

  dimension. An optional template parameter, allows the user to define

  different bucket types. The default bucket type is a vector<DataT>.



  The HashLink holds a dynamic array of HashLinks. This array is dynamic in

  the sense that it may grow but it is also dynamic in the sense that it

  has a virtual starting point. It is a "ranged" array. Although

  there may be a slight performance cost during data insertion, this

  implementation saves memory and rids the user of the need to pre-define

  sizes and ranges.



USAGE

  Since the class is not meant for direct use usage will not be described.

  See the GeomHash implementation for usage examples. The GeomHash methods

  pretty much coincide with the HashLink methods.
