Detailed Description

Spatial indexes are data structures that are used to accelerate collision detection and spatial queries.

Chipmunk provides a number of spatial index algorithms to pick from and they are programmed in a generic way so that you can use them for holding more than just cpShape structs.

It works by using void pointers to the objects you add and using a callback to ask your code for bounding boxes when it needs them. Several types of queries can be performed an index as well as reindexing and full collision information. All communication to the spatial indexes is performed through callback functions.

Spatial indexes should be treated as opaque structs. This meanns you shouldn't be reading any of the struct fields.

Typedef Documentation

typedef cpVect(* cpBBTreeVelocityFunc)(void *obj)

Bounding box tree velocity callback function.

This function should return an estimate for the object's velocity.

typedef cpBB(* cpSpatialIndexBBFunc)(void *obj)

Spatial index bounding box callback function type.

The spatial index calls this function and passes you a pointer to an object you added when it needs to get the bounding box associated with that object.

Function Documentation

CP_EXPORT void cpSpaceHashResize ( cpSpaceHash *  hash,
cpFloat  celldim,
int  numcells 
)

Change the cell dimensions and table size of the spatial hash to tune it.

The cell dimensions should roughly match the average size of your objects and the table size should be ~10 larger than the number of objects inserted. Some trial and error is required to find the optimum numbers for efficiency.

static cpBool cpSpatialIndexContains ( cpSpatialIndex *  index,
void *  obj,
cpHashValue  hashid 
)
inlinestatic

Returns true if the spatial index contains the given object.

Most spatial indexes use hashed storage, so you must provide a hash value too.

static void cpSpatialIndexInsert ( cpSpatialIndex *  index,
void *  obj,
cpHashValue  hashid 
)
inlinestatic

Add an object to a spatial index.

Most spatial indexes use hashed storage, so you must provide a hash value too.

static void cpSpatialIndexReindexQuery ( cpSpatialIndex *  index,
cpSpatialIndexQueryFunc  func,
void *  data 
)
inlinestatic

Simultaneously reindex and find all colliding objects.

func will be called once for each potentially overlapping pair of objects found. If the spatial index was initialized with a static index, it will collide it's objects against that as well.

static void cpSpatialIndexRemove ( cpSpatialIndex *  index,
void *  obj,
cpHashValue  hashid 
)
inlinestatic

Remove an object from a spatial index.

Most spatial indexes use hashed storage, so you must provide a hash value too.
