`KDTree.``query_ball_point`(x, r, p=2.0, eps=0)

  Find all points within distance r of point(s) x.

  Parameters: | x : array_like, shape tuple + (self.m,) The point or points to search for neighbors of. r : positive float The radius of points to return. p : float, optional Which Minkowski p-norm to use. Should be in the range [1, inf]. eps : nonnegative float, optional Approximate search. Branches of the tree are not explored if their nearest points are further than `r / (1 + eps)`, and branches are added in bulk if their furthest points are nearer than `r * (1 + eps)`.
  Returns: | results : list or array of lists If x is a single point, returns a list of the indices of the neighbors of x. If x is an array of points, returns an object array of shape tuple containing lists of neighbors.

  Notes

  If you have many points whose neighbors you want to find, you may save substantial amounts of time by putting them in a KDTree and using query_ball_tree.

  Examples

      >>> from scipy import spatial
      >>> x, y = np.mgrid[0:4, 0:4]
      >>> points = zip(x.ravel(), y.ravel())
      >>> tree = spatial.KDTree(points)
      >>> tree.query_ball_point([2, 0], 1)
      [4, 8, 9, 12]
