Examples

Create a layer to index a node

CALL spatial.addNativePointLayer('my-native-rtree-layer')
Table 1. Result
node 
(:SpatialLayer {
    geomencoder: "org.neo4j.gis.spatial.encoders.NativePointEncoder",
    index_class: "org.neo4j.gis.spatial.index.LayerRTreeIndex",
    layer: "my-native-rtree-layer",
    layer_class: "org.neo4j.gis.spatial.SimplePointLayer"
})

Create a node to index

CREATE (n:Node {id: 42, latitude:60.1,longitude:15.2}) SET n.location=point(n) RETURN n

Index node

MATCH (n:Node) WITH n CALL spatial.addNode('my-native-rtree-layer',n) YIELD node RETURN node
Table 2. Result
node 
(:Node {
    bbox: [15.2,60.1,15.2,60.1],
    gtype: 1,
    id: 42,
    latitude: 60.1,
    location: point({x: 15.2, y: 60.1, crs: 'wgs-84'}),
    longitude: 15.2
})

Find node within distance

CALL spatial.withinDistance('my-native-rtree-layer',{lon:15.0,lat:60.0},100)
Table 3. Result
distance node 
15.713441434310283

    bbox: [15.2,60.1,15.2,60.1],
    gtype: 1,

    latitude: 60.1,
    location: point({x: 15.2, y: 60.1, crs: 'wgs-84'}),
