public abstract class AbstractSpatialNorm
extends AbstractNumberVectorNorm
implements SpatialPrimitiveDistanceFunction<NumberVector>

Abstract base class for typical distance functions that allow rectangle-to-rectangle lower bounds. These distances can then be used with R*-trees for acceleration. This class is largely a convenience class, to make implementing this type of distance functions easier.
