Does RBUSH supports to use Latitude and Longitude? #111

Closed raj1127 closed 4 years ago

raj1127 commented 4 years ago

Can we use starting latitude/longitude and ending latitude/longitude of the rectangle instead of minx, miny, maxx and maxy to insert and search rbush tree?

mourner commented 4 years ago

Yes.

Thanks for your reply. Just one question what is then 

                    minX: (is it LEFT?)
                    minY: (is it TOP?)
                    maxX (is it RIGHT?)
                    maxY (is it BOTTOM?)

I will appreciate your reply.

In case of geographic locations, latitude goes from south to north, so minY is bottom and maxY is top. minX and maxX (longitude) are west and east respectively.
