# scipy.spatial.cKDTree.sparse_distance_matrix

`cKDTree.``sparse_distance_matrix`(self, max_distance, p)

  Compute a sparse distance matrix

  Computes a distance matrix between two KDTrees, leaving as zero any distance greater than max_distance.

  Parameters : | other : cKDTree max_distance : positive float
  Returns : | result : dok_matrix Sparse matrix representing the results in “dictionary of keys” format. FIXME: Internally, built as a COO matrix, it would be more efficient to return this COO matrix.
