Introduction
Welcome to the Catalog of Prebuilt Hipparchus Voronoi Index Structures.
This catalog describes a number of Voronoi indexes that have been prebuilt
for your use in the development of general Hipparchus-based applications or
in the development of new Atlases for Georama.
The structures catalogued here are freely available for download from the
web. Size information and a download option are presented with each
structure.
Each structure is available in two forms:
- a binary file accessible by Georama, Galileo and any Hipparchus-based
application designed for Win32 compatibility (i.e., Windows 95/98/2000/NT).
Such files carry the filename extension .vix.
- an ASCII file of cell centerpoint latitude/longitude coordinates,
suitable for pre-processing with the cross-platform Hipparchus Utility
program CELLWVS. Such files carry the filename extension
.pts.
If you have sufficient bandwidth, you might consider downloading the entire set of Voronoi indexing structures offered
here. Otherwise, please browse this catalog, selecting only those structures
that best fit your application.
