I need a 2 dimensional interval tree for storing rectangular regions in a canvas.
I need to identify the regions which contain the point clicked or the regions overlapping with a rectangular selection.
Is there any standard implementation of 2 dimensional interval tree for this purpose ?
It seems that R-tree or it's variants are suitable.
Implementation may be found here
Edit: Now
rtreeportal.org
site does not work (2005 snapshot), but seems there is no comparable aggregator site that contains information and implementations for different kinds of R-trees.
