\ccDefinition
  
The class \ccRefName\ serves as a base class  for implementing splitting rules.

\ccTypes

\ccNestedType{FT}{Number type.}
\ccNestedType{Container}{Point container.}
\ccNestedType{Separator}{Separator.} 

\ccCreationVariable{s}  %% choose variable name

The parameters \ccc{aspect_ratio} and  \ccc{bucket_size}
define the way in which $k$-$d$ tree is constructed.

\ccOperations

\ccMethod{
void operator()(Separator& s, Container& c0, Container& c1);} 
{Modifies the separator $s$, 
and splits \ccc{c0} into \ccc{c0} and \ccc{c1},
using the splitting dimension and the splitting value of the modified separator.
}

\ccMethod{FT aspect_ratio();}{Returns the maximal ratio between the largest and smallest side
of a cell allowed for fair splitting.}

\ccMethod{int bucket_size();} {Returns the bucket size of the leaf nodes.}
