Detailed Description

Fast Simple Class for dealing with 3D bounds.

vtkBoundingBox maintains a 3D axis aligned bounding box. It is very light weight and many of the member functions are in-lined so it is very fast. It is not derived from vtkObject so it can be allocated on the stack

Inflate() [1/3]

void vtkBoundingBox::Inflate

(

double

delta

)

Expand the bounding box.

Inflate(delta) expands by delta on each side, the box will grow by 2*delta in x, y, and z. Inflate(dx,dy,dz) expands by the given amounts in each of the x, y, z directions. Finally, Inflate() expands the bounds so that it has non-zero volume. Edges that are inflated are adjusted 1% of the longest edge. Or if an edge is zero length, the bounding box is inflated by 1 unit in that direction.

Inflate() [2/3]

void vtkBoundingBox::Inflate	(	double	deltaX,
		double	deltaY,
		double	deltaZ
	)

Inflate() [3/3]

void vtkBoundingBox::Inflate

(

)

Scale() [1/2]

void vtkBoundingBox::Scale

(

double

s[3]

)

Scale each dimension of the box by some given factor.

If the box is not valid, it stays unchanged. If the scalar factor is negative, bounds are flipped: for example, if (xMin,xMax)=(-2,4) and sx=-3, (xMin,xMax) becomes (-12,6).

Scale() [2/2]

void vtkBoundingBox::Scale	(	double	sx,
		double	sy,
		double	sz
	)

ScaleAboutCenter() [1/3]

If the box is not valid, it is not changed.

ScaleAboutCenter() [2/3]

void vtkBoundingBox::ScaleAboutCenter

(

double

s[3]

)

ScaleAboutCenter() [3/3]

void vtkBoundingBox::ScaleAboutCenter	(	double	sx,
		double	sy,
		double	sz
	)

ComputeDivisions()

vtkIdType vtkBoundingBox::ComputeDivisions	(	vtkIdType	totalBins,
		double	bounds[6],
		int	divs[3]
	)		const

Compute the number of divisions in the z-y-z directions given a target number of total bins (i.e., product of divisions in the x-y-z directions).

The computation is done in such a way as to create near cuboid bins. Also note that the returned bounds may be different than the bounds defined in this class, as the bounds in the z-y-z directions can never be <= 0. Note that the total number of divisions (divs[0]*divs[1]*divs[2]) should be less than or equal to the target number of bins, but it may be slightly larger in certain cases.

Reset()

void vtkBoundingBox::Reset ( )

inline

Returns the box to its initialized state.
