Un quadtree es una estructura de datos útil para encontrar puntos cerca de un solo
buscando en el área que rodea el lugar de interés.
Con un quadtree, puedes buscar eficazmente puntos dentro de un rango 2D,
donde esos puntos se definen como coordenadas de latitud y longitud o cartesianas (x, y)
coordenadas. El quadtree almacena buckets de coordenadas en nodos e índices
por región (cuadro de límite). Para encontrar un par de coordenadas determinado, debes recorrer
a través de los nodos del quadtree.
Agregar un quadtree y buscar puntos en un área determinada
El siguiente código crea un quadtree y luego busca todos los puntos dentro
en un área determinada:
