rsmt

A library to obtain Rectilinear Steiner Minimal Trees.

For more info on the problem that this solves, check Rectilinear Steiner tree. This library implements a fast algorithm that provides exact (ie: minimal) solutions.

NOTE: The library is still under development.

Usage

To use it, just do:

import rsmt from `rsmt`
 
const nodes = [[0, 0], [1, 2], [4, 1], ...]
const solution = await rsmt(nodes)
 
/*
solution = {
  terminals: [[0, 0], [1, 2], [4, 1], ...],
  steiners: [[0, 1], ...],
  edges: [[[0, 0], [0, 1]], ...],
  edgeIds: [[1, -1], ...]
}
*/

Acknowledgements

This library is a reimplementation of the algorithms used in GeoSteiner, based on the paper "A New Exact Algorithm for Rectilinear Steiner Trees" (David M. Warme, 1997).

We also make use of an emscripten build of glpk, named glpk.js.
