The key to understanding how a rotation functions is to understand its constraints. In particular the order of the leaves of the tree (when read left to right for example) cannot change (another way to think of it is that the order that the leaves would be visited in an in-order traversal must be the same after the operation as before).
A point P has coordinates (x, y) with respect to the original system and coordinates (x′, y′) with respect to the new system. [1] In the new coordinate system, the point P will appear to have been rotated in the opposite direction, that is, clockwise through the angle . A rotation of axes in more than two dimensions is defined similarly.
rotates points in the xy plane counterclockwise through an angle θ about the origin of a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. To perform the rotation on a plane point with standard coordinates v = (x, y), it should be written as a column vector, and multiplied by the matrix R:
A rotation operates on two nodes x and y, where x is the parent of y, and restructures the tree by making y be the parent of x and taking the place of x in the tree. To free up one of the child links of y and make room to link x as a child of y, this operation may also need to move one of the children of y to become a child of x.
The point quadtree [3] is an adaptation of a binary tree used to represent two-dimensional point data. It shares the features of all quadtrees but is a true tree as the center of a subdivision is always on a point. It is often very efficient in comparing two-dimensional, ordered data points, usually operating in O(log n) time.
The rotation has two angles of rotation, one for each plane of rotation, through which points in the planes rotate. If these are ω 1 and ω 2 then all points not in the planes rotate through an angle between ω 1 and ω 2. Rotations in four dimensions about a fixed point have six degrees of freedom.
A star tree is a tree which consists of a single internal vertex (and n – 1 leaves). In other words, a star tree of order n is a tree of order n with as many leaves as possible. A caterpillar tree is a tree in which all vertices are within distance 1 of a central path subgraph.
