Class: TileQuadNode

TileQuadNode

A utility class that describes a quad tree of tiles. Each tile on a given level has up to four corresponding tiles on the next level. A TileQuadNode uses the attributes nw (i.e. northwest), ne, sw, se to link to the quad nodes on the next level. The previous attributes links to the quad one level below that holds the given quad as nw, ne, sw, or se. We use this node class because we need a representation of tiles that are needed but not loaded yet to compute tiles which can be abandoned to reduce the memory pressure.
