CI Documentation

HexTree

hextree provides tree structures that represent geographic regions with H3 cells.

The primary structures are:

  • HexTreeMap: an H3 cell-to-value map.
  • HexTreeSet: an H3 cell set for hit-testing.

You can think of HexTreeMap vs. HexTreeSet as HashMap vs. HashSet.

How is this different from HashMap<H3Cell, V>?

The key feature of a hextree is that its keys (H3 cells) are hierarchical. For instance, if you previously inserted an entry for a low-res cell, but later query for a higher-res child cell, the tree returns the value for the lower res cell. Additionally, with compaction, trees can automatically coalesce adjacent high-res cells into their parent cell. For very large regions, the compaction process can continue to lowest resolution cells (res-0), possibly removing millions of redundant cells from the tree. For example, a set of 4,795,661 res-7 cells representing North America coalesces into a 42,383 element HexTreeSet.

A hextree's internal structure exactly matches the semantics of an H3 cell. The root of the tree has 122 resolution-0 nodes, followed by 15 levels of 7-ary nodes. The level of an occupied node, or leaf node, is the same as its corresponding H3 cell resolution.
