#4 closed enhancement (fixed)

improve efficency of least_squares algorithm for speed increase

Description (last modified by duncan)

Arrange quad tree algorithm so that all datapoints contribute to interpolation matrix A, without having to set the expand search flag to true.

Currently this is fixed by expand search but that can be very slow. Need e.g. algorithm for searching neighbouring treenodes.

  • Status changed from new to assigned

The slowness occurs when expand_search is True and cropping is False. This can happen when you want to fit a mesh to grid points. There will be no values to the grid points outside of the mesh.

A solution would be to always crop and return the cropped points, so they aren't lost.

Previous comment should've said interpolate, not fit.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from assigned to closed

The same search algorithm is used. Cropping is now inforced, which means expand serach is not slow.
