intervaltree
============

A mutable, self-balancing interval tree for Python 2 and 3. Queries may be by point, by range overlap, or by range envelopment.

This library was designed to allow tagging text and time intervals, where the intervals include the lower bound but not the upper bound.

Installing
----------

```sh
pip install intervaltree
```

Features
--------

* Supports Python 2.6+ and Python 3.2+
* Initializing

    * blank `tree = IntervalTree()`
    * from an iterable of `Interval` objects (`tree = IntervalTree(intervals)`)
    * from an iterable of tuples (`tree = IntervalTree.from_tuples(interval_tuples)`)

* Insertions

    * `tree[begin:end] = data`
    * `tree.add(interval)`
    * `tree.addi(begin, end, data)`

* Deletions

    * `tree.remove(interval)`             (raises `ValueError` if not present)
    * `tree.discard(interval)`            (quiet if not present)
    * `tree.removei(begin, end, data)`    (short for `tree.remove(Interval(begin, end, data))`)
    * `tree.discardi(begin, end, data)`   (short for `tree.discard(Interval(begin, end, data))`)
    * `tree.remove_overlap(point)`
    * `tree.remove_overlap(begin, end)`   (removes all overlapping the range)
    * `tree.remove_envelop(begin, end)`   (removes all enveloped in the range)

* Overlap queries

    * `tree[point]`
    * `tree[begin:end]`
    * `tree.search(point)`
    * `tree.search(begin, end)`

* Envelop queries

    * `tree.search(begin, end, strict=True)`

* Membership queries

    * `interval_obj in tree`              (this is fastest, O(1))
    * `tree.containsi(begin, end, data)`
    * `tree.overlaps(point)`
    * `tree.overlaps(begin, end)`

* Iterable

    * `for interval_obj in tree:`
    * `tree.items()`

* Sizing

    * `len(tree)`
    * `tree.is_empty()`
    * `not tree`
    * `tree.begin()`          (the `begin` coordinate of the leftmost interval)
    * `tree.end()`            (the `end` coordinate of the rightmost interval)

* Set-like operations
    
    * union
    
        * `result_tree = tree.union(iterable)`
        * `result_tree = tree1 | tree2`        
        * `tree.update(iterable)`
        * `tree |= other_tree`
    
    * difference
    
        * `result_tree = tree.difference(iterable)`
        * `result_tree = tree1 - tree2`
        * `tree.difference_update(iterable)`
        * `tree -= other_tree`
    
    * intersection
    
        * `result_tree = tree.intersection(iterable)`
        * `result_tree = tree1 & tree2`    
        * `tree.intersection_update(iterable)`
        * `tree &= other_tree`
    
    * symmetric difference
    
        * `result_tree = tree.symmetric_difference(iterable)`
        * `result_tree = tree1 ^ tree2`
        * `tree.symmetric_difference_update(iterable)`
        * `tree ^= other_tree`
    
    * comparison
    
        * `tree1.issubset(tree2)` or `tree1 <= tree2`
        * `tree1 <= tree2`
        * `tree1.issuperset(tree2)` or `tree1 > tree2`
        * `tree1 >= tree2`
        * `tree1 == tree2`
        
* Restructuring

    * `chop(begin, end)`      (slice intervals and remove everything between `begin` and `end`)
    * `slice(point)`          (slice intervals at `point`)
    * `split_overlaps()`      (slice at all interval boundaries)

* Copying and typecasting

    * `IntervalTree(tree)`    (`Interval` objects are same as those in tree)
    * `tree.copy()`           (`Interval` objects are shallow copies of those in tree)
    * `set(tree)`             (can later be fed into `IntervalTree()`)
    * `list(tree)`            (ditto)

* Pickle-friendly
* Automatic AVL balancing

Examples
--------

* Getting started

    ``` python
    >>> from intervaltree import Interval, IntervalTree
    >>> t = IntervalTree()
    >>> t
    IntervalTree()
    
    ```

* Adding intervals - any object works!

    ``` python
    >>> t[1:2] = "1-2"
    >>> t[4:7] = (4, 7)
    >>> t[5:9] = {5: 9}
    
    ```

* Query by point

    The result of a query is a `set` object, so if ordering is important,
    you must sort it first.
    
    ``` python
    >>> sorted(t[6])
    [Interval(4, 7, (4, 7)), Interval(5, 9, {5: 9})]
    >>> sorted(t[6])[0]
    Interval(4, 7, (4, 7))
    
    ```

* Query by range

    Note that ranges are inclusive of the lower limit, but non-inclusive of the upper limit. So:

    ``` python
    >>> sorted(t[2:4])
    []
    
    ```

    But:

    ``` python
    >>> sorted(t[1:5])
    [Interval(1, 2, '1-2'), Interval(4, 7, (4, 7))]
    
    ```

* Accessing an `Interval` object

    ``` python
    >>> iv = Interval(4, 7, (4, 7))
    >>> iv.begin
    4
    >>> iv.end
    7
    >>> iv.data
    (4, 7)
    
    >>> begin, end, data = iv
    >>> begin
    4
    >>> end
    7
    >>> data
    (4, 7)
    
    ```

* Constructing from lists of intervals

    We could have made a similar tree this way:

    ``` python
    >>> ivs = [(1, 2), (4, 7), (5, 9)]
    >>> t = IntervalTree(
    ...    Interval(begin, end, "%d-%d" % (begin, end)) for begin, end in ivs
    ... )
    
    ```

    Or, if we don't need the data fields:

    ``` python
    >>> t2 = IntervalTree(Interval(*iv) for iv in ivs)
    
    ```

* Removing intervals
    
    ``` python
    >>> t.remove( Interval(1, 2, "1-2") )
    >>> sorted(t)
    [Interval(4, 7, '4-7'), Interval(5, 9, '5-9')]

    >>> t.remove( Interval(500, 1000, "Doesn't exist"))  # raises ValueError
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ValueError
    
    >>> t.discard(Interval(500, 1000, "Doesn't exist"))  # quietly does nothing

    >>> del t[5]  # same as t.remove_overlap(5)
    >>> t
    IntervalTree()
    
    ```

    We could also empty a tree entirely:

    ``` python
    >>> t2.clear()
    >>> t2
    IntervalTree()
    
    ```
    
    Or remove intervals that overlap a range:
    
    ``` python
    >>> t = IntervalTree([
    ...     Interval(0, 10), 
    ...     Interval(10, 20), 
    ...     Interval(20, 30), 
    ...     Interval(30, 40)])
    >>> t.remove_overlap(25, 35)
    >>> sorted(t)
    [Interval(0, 10), Interval(10, 20)]

    ```
    
    We can also remove only those intervals completely enveloped in a range:
    
    ``` python
    >>> t.remove_envelop(5, 20)
    >>> sorted(t)
    [Interval(0, 10)]
    
    ```
    
* Chopping

    We could also chop out parts of the tree:
    
    ``` python
    >>> t = IntervalTree([Interval(0, 10)])
    >>> t.chop(3, 7)
    >>> sorted(t)
    [Interval(0, 3), Interval(7, 10)]
    
    ```
    
    To modify the new intervals' data fields based on which side of the interval is being chopped:
    
    ``` python
    >>> def datafunc(iv, islower):
    ...     oldlimit = iv[islower]
    ...     return "oldlimit: {0}, islower: {1}".format(oldlimit, islower)
    >>> t = IntervalTree([Interval(0, 10)])
    >>> t.chop(3, 7, datafunc)
    >>> sorted(t)[0]
    Interval(0, 3, 'oldlimit: 10, islower: True')
    >>> sorted(t)[1]
    Interval(7, 10, 'oldlimit: 0, islower: False')
    
    ```

* Slicing

    You can also slice intervals in the tree without removing them:
    
    ``` python
    >>> t = IntervalTree([Interval(0, 10), Interval(5, 15)])
    >>> t.slice(3)
    >>> sorted(t)
    [Interval(0, 3), Interval(3, 10), Interval(5, 15)]
    
    ```
    
    You can also set the data fields, for example, re-using `datafunc()` from above:
    
    ``` python
    >>> t = IntervalTree([Interval(5, 15)])
    >>> t.slice(10, datafunc)
    >>> sorted(t)[0]
    Interval(5, 10, 'oldlimit: 15, islower: True')
    >>> sorted(t)[1]
    Interval(10, 15, 'oldlimit: 5, islower: False')
    
    ```
