A sparse, linear octree data structure.
npm install linear-octree
A sparse, linear octree data structure. For a pointer-based implementation see sparse-octree.
This library requires the peer dependency three.
``sh`
npm install three linear-octree

// Define the bit distribution for the X-, Y- and Z-axis.

// Define the octree world bounds.

// Alternatively, define the bounds based on a cell size.

// Octrees can be non-uniform with uneven bit distributions.

- Linear structure
- Packs positional data into numeric keys
- Constant time access to octants, parents and neighbors at any depth level
- Low memory usage (no explicit positional data stored in octants)
- Adheres to a common octant layout
- Supports raycasting
- Supports culling
- Can be extended to manage any data
- Fully customizable 3-dimensional subdivisions
