✨ NAME ✨

ann_sample — the sample program for the ANN library, periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ann_sample [-d dim] [-max m] [-nn k] [-e eps] [-df data] [-qf query]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically 💅 this is a sample program for the the Approximate Nearest Neighbor Searching library. the results? they get sent straight to standard output. it's giving "here's your answer, you're welcome." 🌸

want to run a lil demo? try this, bestie:

ann_sample -df /usr/share/doc/ann-tools/data.pts -qf /usr/share/doc/ann-tools/query.pts

and then compare what you got with this icon:

/usr/share/doc/ann-tools/sample.save

lowkey a whole moment. go off. ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay here's the full menu, every single one, don't skip:

  • -d dim — dimension of the space (default = 2). yes, only 2 by default, humble queen. 🎀
  • -max m — maximum number of data points (default = 1000). that's your cap, literally. 🫶
  • -nn k — number of nearest neighbors per query (default 1). just the one bestie by default. 😭
  • -e eps — the error bound (default = 0.0). zero error allowed, perfectionist behavior, we love to see it. 💅
  • -df data — name of file containing data points. your data lives here. 🍓
  • -qf query — name of file containing query points. and your queries live here. 🧚
