About multisection

[Kolaru]

Multisection is not currently supported directly, mostly because I didn't know any use case when I wrote the package.

Cutting a multidimensional set in pieces may come down to successively bisecting each dimension (the optimal order along which to bisect each dimension may not be trivial though), and the package should support it.

A work around using the current state of the package would be to tag the results of the bisect so that at the next iteration the process function directly marks them for a new bisection without actual processing.

To get true multisection I would need to think about it a bit, since I fear that a variable number of return values for bisect may affect performance.

I would definitively welcome such contribution! I think a pull request may be the easiest way to do it.

A quick update: we could work-around multisection by defining a bisection which decides in which direction to split the current box by looking at the largest side.

Alright, thanks for the insight!

As i said above, in the application that we are working on with @lbenet, multisection could be worked around by just alternating the directions of the splitting in the bisection. We may be able to upload an example to this package if you are interested. Can we upload a jupyter notebook to the examples folder?
