Table 1.5. Overview over Icl Examples

level	example	classes	features
intro	Party	`interval_map`	Generates an attendance history of a party by inserting into an `interval_map`. Demonstrating aggregate on overlap.
basic	Interval	`discrete_interval`, `continuous_interval`	Intervals for discrete and continuous instance types. Closed and open interval borders.
basic	Dynamic intervals	`discrete_interval`, `continuous_interval`, `interval`	Intervals with dynamic interval bounds as library default.
basic	Static intervals	`right_open_interval`, `interval`	Intervals with static interval bounds and changing the library default.
basic	Interval container	`interval_set`, `separate_interval_set`, `split_interval_set`, `split_interval_map`, `interval_map`	Basic characteristics of interval containers.
basic	Overlap counter	`interval_map`	The most simple application of an interval map: Counting the overlaps of added intervals.
advanced	Party's height average	`interval_map`	Using aggregate on overlap a history of height averages of party guests is computed. Associated values are user defined class objects, that implement an appropriate `operator +=` for the aggregation.
advanced	Party's tallest guests	`interval_map`, `split_interval_map`	Using aggregate on overlap the heights of the party's tallest guests are computed. Associated values are aggregated via a maximum functor, that can be chosen as template parameter of an interval_map class template.
advanced	Time grids for months and weeks	`split_interval_set`	Shows how the border preserving `split_interval_set` can be used to create time partitions where different periodic time intervals overlay each other.
advanced	Man power	`interval_set`, `interval_map`	Set style operations on `interval_sets` and `interval_maps` like union, difference and intersection can be used to obtain calculations in a flexible way. Example man_power demonstrates such operations in the process of calculating the available man-power of a company in a given time interval.
advanced	User groups	`interval_map`	Example user_groups shows how interval_maps can be unified or intersected to calculate desired information.
and std	Std copy	`interval_map`	Fill interval containers using `std::copy`.
and std	Std transform	`interval_map`, `separate_interval_set`	Fill interval containers from user defined objects using `std::transform`.
customize	Custom interval	`interval_traits`	Use interval containers with your own interval class types.
