Part 2
From CMSC 420
Revision as of 23:48, 18 March 2007 by Ben Zoller (talk | contribs) (→Data structures: added command)
- Due Date: April ? (+ epsilon)
- The official spec is not up yet.
- As always, the spec will freeze 1 week prior to the due date.
Overview[edit]
For this part of the project, you will implement a B-Tree that implements the SortedMap interface. However, you do not need to implement deletion operations until Part 3. The B-tree will become the new data dictionary. The spatial map will now use a PM3 Quadtree to store both cities and roads. You will also be required to make a road adjacency list for use in finding the shortest path between two cities.

Commands[edit]
The operations you will need to support can be gleaned from the spec:
- createCity: You will need to be able to add cities to the data dictionary. No two cities can have the same coordinates or name.
- mapRoad: Map a road in the spatial map.
- listCities: Output a sorted (XML) list of cities in the data dictionary.
- rangeCities: This searches the spatial data structure for all cities within a given radius of a given point. Optionally save a visual representation of the command to an image file.
- nearestCity: This finds the nearest city to a given point in the spatial map.
- printPMQuadtree: This outputs an XML (textual) representation of the spatial map.
- saveMap: This outputs a visual representation (an image) of the spatial data structure. See CanvasPlus.
- clearAll: Clears all of the data structures, removing all elements.
- shortestPath: Computes the shortest path between two cities. Optionally saves the path to an image file or generates an HTML file for the shortest path.
