Class BoundingBox

java.lang.Object

edu.mines.jtk.sgl.BoundingBox

public class BoundingBox
extends java.lang.Object

An axis-aligned bounding box.

A bounding box may be empty. An empty box contains no points. A non-empty box contains at least one point. Some attributes, such as the box minimum and maximum points, center, and radius, are defined only for boxes that are not empty.

A bounding box may be infinite. An infinite box contains all points. Its minimum and maximum points are at Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY and Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY, respectively, and its center is undefined.

Parameters:

p - a point.

BoundingBox

public BoundingBox(Point3 p,
           Point3 q)

Constructs the smallest bounding box that contains two points. The two points represent two of the eight corners of the box.

Parameters:

p - a point.

q - a point.

BoundingBox

public BoundingBox(double xmin,
           double ymin,
           double zmin,
           double xmax,
           double ymax,
           double zmax)

Constructs a bounding box with specified bounds.

Parameters:

xmin - the minimum x coordinate.

ymin - the minimum y coordinate.

zmin - the minimum z coordinate.

xmax - the maximum x coordinate.

ymax - the maximum y coordinate.

zmax - the maximum z coordinate.

BoundingBox

public BoundingBox(float[] xyz)

Constructs a bounding box for points with specified coordinates. The (x,y,z) coordinates are packed into the specified array such that (xyz[0],xyz[1],xyz[2]) are the (x,y,z) coordinates of the 1st point, (xyz[3],xyz[4],xyz[5]) are the (x,y,z) coordinates of the 2nd point, and so on.

Parameters:

xyz - array of packed (x,y,z) coordinates.

BoundingBox

public BoundingBox(float[] x,
           float[] y,
           float[] z)

Constructs a bounding box for points with specified coordinates.

Parameters:

x - array of x coordinates.

y - array of y coordinates.

z - array of z coordinates.

BoundingBox

public BoundingBox(BoundingBox bb)

Constructs a copy of the specified bounding box.

Parameters:

bb - the bounding box.

Method Detail

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Determines whether this box is empty.

Returns:

true, if empty; false, otherwise.

isInfinite

public boolean isInfinite()

Determines whether this box is infinite.

Returns:

true, if infinite; false, otherwise.

getMin

public Point3 getMin()

Gets the point in this box with minimum coordinates.

Returns:

the minimim point.

getMax

public Point3 getMax()

Gets the point in this box with maximum coordinates.

the box radius.

getRadiusSquared

public double getRadiusSquared()

Gets the box radius-squared.

Returns:

getCorner

public Point3 getCorner(int index)

Gets the point at a specified corner of this box. The corner is specified by index, an integer between 0 and 7. From least to most significant, the three bits of this index correspond to x, y, and z coordinates of a corner point. A zero bit selects a minimum coordinate; a one bit selects a maximum coordinate.
