```
boolean sample(com.badlogic.gdx.utils.Array<StarGroup.StarBean> inputStars,
               OctreeNode octant,
               float percentage)
```
    Creates the sub-sample from the given input stars. All these stars should be in the box defined by the center and the sizes.
    
    Parameters:
    
    inputStars - The actual stars that are inside the octant.
    
    octant - The octant that characterizes the box with its center, size and depth well set.
    
    percentage - The percentage of objects to be included in the octant.
    
    Returns:
    
    True if we are in a leaf.
  - getMaxPart
```
int getMaxPart()
```
    Gets the maximum number of particles in a single node
    
    Returns:
    
    maximum number of particles in a node
  - getDiscarded
```
int getDiscarded()
```
    Returns the number of discarded stars by this algorithm so far.
    
    Returns:
    
    The number of stars discarded.
  - getMaxDepth
```
int getMaxDepth()
```
    Returns the max depth setting.
    
    Returns:
    
    The max depth
