Good day to everyone,

Tried the latest boost versions, however *rtree insersects query* does not accept ring, polygon and multipolygon any more - since 1.59 - when applied on boxes. However it is still present in the documentation (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_60_0/libs/geometry/doc/html/geometry/spatial_indexes/queries.html#geometry.spatial_indexes.queries.spatial_predicates).

One could run a query on R-tree of boxes using a ring in boost 1.58.0 but not any longer. I could not find any relevant discussion but perhaps there is a good reason for this?

Example:

----------------------------------------------------------------

#include <vector>

#include <boost/geometry.hpp>

#include <boost/geometry/geometries/point_xy.hpp>

#include <boost/geometry/geometries/box.hpp>

#include <boost/geometry/geometries/polygon.hpp>

#include <boost/geometry/index/rtree.hpp>

void testSpacialIndexing()

{

namespace bg = boost::geometry;

namespace bgm = boost::geometry::model;

namespace bgi = boost::geometry::index;

typedef bgm::d2::point_xy<double> P;

typedef bgm::box B;

P qpt;

B qbox;

bgm::ring qring;

bgm::polygon qpoly;

bgm::multi_polygon<bgm::polygon> qmpoly;

bgm::segment qseg;

bgm::linestring qls;

// spacial indexing example

typedef std::pair<B, int> Value_t;

bgi::rtree<Value_t, bgi::quadratic<8>> rtree1;

std::vector<Value_t> found;

// works for all versions

rtree1.query(bgi::intersects(qpt), back_inserter(found));

rtree1.query(bgi::intersects(qbox), back_inserter(found));

rtree1.query(bgi::intersects(qseg), back_inserter(found));

rtree1.query(bgi::intersects(qls), back_inserter(found));

// does not work for 1.59 to 1.61 beta

rtree1.query(bgi::intersects(qring), back_inserter(found));

rtree1.query(bgi::intersects(qpoly), back_inserter(found));

rtree1.query(bgi::intersects(qmpoly), back_inserter(found));

}

----------------------------------------------------------------

Best greetings,

Mike
