Detailed Description

The SbBox3f class is an abstraction for an axis aligned 3 dimensional box.

This box abstraction class is used by other entities in the Coin library for data exchange and storage. It provides a representation of the defining corners of a box in 3D space, with the sides aligned with the 3 principal axes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SbBox3f::SbBox3f void
 

The default constructor makes an empty box.

SbBox3f::SbBox3f const float minx,
const float miny,
const float minz,
const float maxx,
const float maxy,
const float maxz
 

Constructs a box with the given corners.

minx should be less than maxx, miny should be less than maxy and minz should be less than maxz if you want to make a valid box.

SbBox3f::SbBox3f const SbVec3f & min,
const SbVec3f & max
 

Constructs a box with the given corners.

The coordinates of min should be less than the coordinates of max if you want to make a valid box.

SbBox3f::~SbBox3f void
 

Default destructor does nothing.


Member Function Documentation

const SbVec3f & SbBox3f::getMin void const
 

Returns the minimum point. This should usually be the lower left corner point of the box.

See also:
getOrigin(), getMax().

const SbVec3f & SbBox3f::getMax void const
 

Returns the maximum point. This should usually be the upper right corner point of the box.

See also:
getMin().

SbVec3f & SbBox3f::getMin void
 

Returns a modifiable reference the minimum point.

SbVec3f & SbBox3f::getMax void
 

Returns a modifiable reference the maximum point.

SbVec3f SbBox3f::getCenter void const
 

Returns the center point of the box.

Reimplemented in SbXfBox3f.

void SbBox3f::extendBy const SbVec3f & pt
 

Extend the boundaries of the box by the given point, i.e. make the point fit inside the box if it isn't already so.

Reimplemented in SbXfBox3f.

void SbBox3f::extendBy const SbBox3f & bb
 

Extend the boundaries of the box by the given box parameter. This is equal to calling extendBy() twice with the corner points.

Reimplemented in SbXfBox3f.

SbBool SbBox3f::intersect const SbVec3f & pt const
 

Check if the given point lies within the boundaries of this box.

Reimplemented in SbXfBox3f.

SbBool SbBox3f::intersect const SbBox3f & bb const
 

Check if the given box lies wholly or partly within the boundaries of this box.

Reimplemented in SbXfBox3f.

void SbBox3f::setBounds const float minx,
const float miny,
const float minz,
const float maxx,
const float maxy,
const float maxz
 

Reset the boundaries of the box.

minx should be less than maxx, miny should be less than maxy and minz should be less than maxz if you want to make a valid box.

See also:
getBounds().

void SbBox3f::setBounds const SbVec3f & min,
const SbVec3f & max
 

Reset the boundaries of the box with the given corners.

The coordinates of min should be less than the coordinates of max if you want to make a valid box.

See also:
getBounds().

void SbBox3f::getBounds float & minx,
float & miny,
float & minz,
float & maxx,
float & maxy,
float & maxz
const
 

Returns the box boundaries.

See also:
setBounds().

void SbBox3f::getBounds SbVec3f & min,
SbVec3f & max
const
 

Returns the box corner points.

See also:
setBounds().

void SbBox3f::getOrigin float & x0,
float & y0,
float & z0
const
 

Returns the coordinates of the box origin (i.e. the lower left corner).

See also:
getMin().

void SbBox3f::getSize float & dx,
float & dy,
float & dz
const
 

Returns width, height and depth of box.

void SbBox3f::makeEmpty void
 

Marks this as an empty box.

See also:
isEmpty().

SbBool SbBox3f::isEmpty void const
 

Check if this has been marked as an empty box.

See also:
makeEmpty().

SbBool SbBox3f::hasVolume void const
 

Check if the box has been correctly specified and by that virtue has volume.

void SbBox3f::getSpan const SbVec3f & direction,
float & dMin,
float & dMax
const
 

Find the span of the box in the given direction (i.e. how much room in the given direction the box needs). The distance is returned as the minimum and maximum distance from origo to the closest and furthest plane defined by the direction vector and each of the box' corners. The difference between these values gives the span.

Reimplemented in SbXfBox3f.

void SbBox3f::transform const SbMatrix & m
 

Transform the box by the matrix, and change its boundaries to contain the transformed box.

Doesn't touch illegal/empty boxes.

Reimplemented in SbXfBox3f.

float SbBox3f::getVolume void const
 

Check if the box has "positive" volume, i.e. the lower left corner is actually lower and more left than the maximum point.

Reimplemented in SbXfBox3f.

SbBool SbBox3f::outside const SbMatrix & mvp,
int & cullbits
const
 

Check if the box is outside the view volume defined by the mvp matrix. Sets cullbits according to which planes we're inside or outside. Bit 0 (0x1) is cleared when box is completely inside left and right clipping planes. Bit 1 (0x2) is cleared when box is inside top and bottom clipping planes. Bit 2 (0x4) is cleared when box is inside near and far clipping planes.

Returns TRUE if box is completely outside one of the clipping planes. FALSE otherwise.

SbVec3f SbBox3f::getClosestPoint const SbVec3f & point const
 

Return the point on the box closest to the given point.

void SbBox3f::print FILE * fp const
 

Dump the state of this object to the file stream. Only works in debug version of library, method does nothing in an optimized compile.

Reimplemented in SbXfBox3f.
