"The " { $snippet "quadtrees" } " vocabulary implements the quadtree structure in Factor. Quadtrees follow the " { $link "assocs-protocol" } " for insertion, deletion, and querying of exact points, using two-dimensional vectors as keys. Additional words are provided for spatial queries and pruning the tree structure:"
{ $subsection prune }
{ $subsection in-rect }
"The following words are provided to help write quadtree algorithms:"
{ $subsection descend }
