MBoundingBox Class Reference

#include <MBoundingBox.h>

Class Description

Implementation of a 3D bounding box.

This class provides an implementation of a bounding box. A bounding box describes a volume in space that bounds a piece of geometry. The box is defined by two points which describe the minimum and maximum corners of the box.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Default constructor.

Creates an empty bounding box.

MBoundingBox ( const MBoundingBox src)

Copy constructor.

Parameters
[in]srcbounding box to copy
MBoundingBox ( const MPoint corner1,
const MPoint corner2 
)

Constructor that creates a bounding box which contains the given points.

Each point will represent one corner of the box.

Parameters
[in]corner1first corner point
[in]corner2second corner point

+ Examples:
void expand ( const MBoundingBox box)

Expand the bounding box to include a second bounding box.

Parameters
[in]boxbounding box to include in this bounding box.
bool contains ( const MPoint point) const

Returns true if the bounding box contains the given point.

Parameters
[in]pointpoint to check for inclusion in this bounding box
Returns
true if the point is contained in this bounding box
bool intersects ( const MBoundingBox box,
