Hi, I'm using the rtree in Boost.Geometry to store one-dimensional intervals (as segments of one-dimensional points). There may be better suited libraries out there for this task, but I had Boost.Geometry in my project for some 2D-Rtree anyways, and since it is generic, it should be up to the task. I needed to query the 1D segments in the rtree for overlaps and got a nasty looking "not implemented" error when trying to compile. Basically, this is what I tried to do: typedef bgm::point Point1D; typedef bgm::segment<Point1D> Interval; typedef bgi::rtree> Tree; mytree.query(bgi::intersects(make_interval(from,to))); (where "make_interval" is a helper that returns an interval from two doubles) Digging through the Boost.Geometry code (and I won't claim I fully understood the template magic), I found in /usr/include/boost/geometry/algorithms/detail/disjoint/linear_linear.hpp the following piece: template struct disjoint : detail::disjoint::disjoint_segment {}; And, more importantly, I did not find a similar piece of code with a "1" as third template parameter. Thus, I assume that the 'disjoint' predicate is just not implemented for one-dimensional segments. I added that predicate for my project, and now I'm wondering whether a full set of spatial predicates would be desirable for one-dimensional segments. In other words: If I came up with a patch adding those predicates, would it be considered? Regards, Lukas
