Hi Gilles,

  1.  I just rebased from master so hopefully that fixed the repo weirdness.
  2.  The best place to start working with the new code is probably the 
RegionBSPTreeXD classes. These are the replacements for the old IntervalsSet, 
PolygonsSet, and PolyhedronsSet classes. I'm including a short example at the 
end of this email that shows some of the functionality.
  3.  Anything could be stored in the AttributeBSPTree nodes, but there isn't 
specific functionality for computing the surface of portions of the tree, since 
that requires the concept of inside and outside nodes, which is present in the 
RegionBSPTree subclasses but not here. Is that what you were asking?
  4.  I was picturing adding both an examples module and a benchmark module a 
littler later, along with a user guide.

Hello Matt.

Thanks for continuing to work on this.

There is a spurious change of ".travis.yml".  Also there are wrong EOL
characters
in that file:
---CUT---
$ file .travis.yml
.travis.yml: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
---CUT---
Perhaps you should merge or rebase on "master".

That would suit me. ;-)
Actually, I'd like to try it with a simple geometry (i.e. build a sphere).
Where should I start looking?

Can it be associated with a surface element?

Nice.

Impressive.

It would be great to create a maven module for systematizing the benchmarks;
see e.g. what is being done in "Commons RNG":
    
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=commons-rng.git;a=tree;f=commons-rng-examples/examples-jmh

A "commons-geometry-examples" module would be a place to collect
useful code, e.g. simple "howtos" (like the one I mentioned above) and
conversion routines from/to popular formats, without the requirement of
backwards compatibility (even between minor releases).

Best,
Gilles
