Welcome to boxtree's documentation!
===================================

boxtree is a package that, given some point locations in two or three
dimensions, sorts them into an adaptive quad/octree of boxes, efficiently, in
parallel, using OpenCL.

Other places on the web to find boxtree stuff:

* `wiki home page <http://wiki.tiker.net/BoxTree>`_
* `source code via git <http://github.com/inducer/boxtree>`_

Now you obviously want to watch the library do something (at least mildly)
cool? Well, sit back and watch:

.. literalinclude:: ../examples/demo.py
   :start-after: STARTEXAMPLE
   :end-before: ENDEXAMPLE

This file is included in the :mod:`boxtree` distribution as
:file:`examples/demo.py`.  With some plotting code (not shown above, but
included in the demo file), you can see what's going on:

.. image:: images/tree.png

More importantly, perhaps, than being able to draw the tree, the :class:`boxtree.Tree`
data structure is now accesible via the `tree` variable above, and the connecitivity
information needed for an FMM-like traversal is available in `trav` as
a :class:`boxtree.traversal.FMMTraversalInfo`.
