Detailed Description

You should not directly use functions and structures defined here. They're really meant for internal use only.

All of the structures here need to be destroyed or you'll leak memory! There are methods available to destroy anything that you need to take care of yourself.

Typedef Documentation

bwRTreeNode_t

typedef struct bwRTreeNode_t bwRTreeNode_t

A node within an R-tree holding the index for data.

Note that there are two types of nodes: leaf and twig. Leaf nodes point to where data actually is. Twig nodes point to additional index nodes, which may or may not be leaves. Each of these nodes has additional children, which may span multiple chromosomes/contigs.

With the start/end position, these positions refer specifically to the chromosomes specified in chrIdxStart/chrIdxEnd. Any chromosomes between these are completely spanned by a given child.
