Detailed Description

The most simple application of an interval map: Counting the overlaps of added intervals.

Example overlap_counter.cpp

The most basic application of an interval_map is a counter counting the number of overlaps of intervals inserted into it.

On could call an interval_map an aggregate on overlap machine. A very basic aggregation is summation of an integer. A interval_map<int,int> maps intervals of int to ints.

If we insert a value pair (discrete_interval<int>(2,6), 1) into the interval_map, it increases the content of all value pairs in the map by 1, if their interval part overlaps with discrete_interval<int>(2,6).
