Curve / ViennaHRLE

Developement repository for ViennaHRLE, a high performance hierarchical run-length encoded data structure.

ViennaHRLE

ViennaHRLE is a header-only C++ library for storing sparse spatial data efficiently. In the worst case, traversing the whole data structure is achieved in O(N), where N is the number of data points stored in the structure. Random access is achieved in O(log(N)).

Support

For help with getting started, have a look at the Examples.

Bug reports and suggestions should be filed on GitHub.

Contributing

If you want to contribute to ViennaHRLE, make sure to follow the LLVM Coding guidelines. Before creating a pull request, make sure ALL files have been formatted by clang-format, which can be done using the format-project.sh script in the root directory.

Releases

Releases are tagged on the maser branch and available in the releases section.

Building

System Requirements

• C++ Compiler with OpenMP support

Installing

Since this is a header only project, it does not require any installation. However, we recommend the following procedure:

git clone github.com/ViennaTools/viennahrle.git
cd viennahrle
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/your/custom/install/
make install

This will install the necessary header and cmake files to the specified path. If DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not specified, it will be installed to the standard path for your system, usually /usr/local/ .

Building examples

The examples can be built using CMake (recommended) or GNU make.
Building for Windows is only supported using CMake with Visual Studio.

Build using CMake (recommended):

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DVIENNAHRLE_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON
make

Build using GNU make:

cd Examples
make

Integration in CMake projects

In order to use this library in your CMake project, add the following lines to the CMakeLists.txt of your project

set(ViennaHRLE_DIR "/path/to/your/custom/install/")
find_package(ViennaHRLE REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ViennaHRLE)

ViennaHRLE also sets the variable VIENNAHRLE_INCLUDE_DIRS, which might be more convenient for certain projects. Therefore, it is also possible to integrate ViennaHRLE as

set(ViennaHRLE_DIR "/path/to/your/custom/install/")
find_package(ViennaHRLE REQUIRED)
target_include_directories(${PROJECT_NAME} ${VIENNAHRLE_INCLUDE_DIRS})
