Detailed Description

implicit function for a bounding box

vtkBox computes the implicit function and/or gradient for a axis-aligned bounding box. (The superclasses transform can be used to modify this orientation.) Each side of the box is orthogonal to all other sides meeting along shared edges and all faces are orthogonal to the x-y-z coordinate axes. (If you wish to orient this box differently, recall that the superclass vtkImplicitFunction supports a transformation matrix.) vtkCube is a concrete implementation of vtkImplicitFunction.

virtual const char* vtkBox::GetClassName (  )  [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

static int vtkBox::IsTypeOf ( const char *  name  )  [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

virtual int vtkBox::IsA ( const char *  name  )  [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

static vtkBox* vtkBox::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject o  )  [static]

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

void vtkBox::PrintSelf ( ostream &  os,
vtkIndent  indent 
) [virtual]

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

static vtkBox* vtkBox::New (  )  [static]

Construct box with center at (0,0,0) and each side of length 1.0.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

double vtkBox::EvaluateFunction ( double  x[3]  )  [virtual]

Evaluate box defined by the two points (pMin,pMax).

Implements vtkImplicitFunction.

double vtkBox::EvaluateFunction ( double  x,

void vtkBox::EvaluateGradient ( double  x[3],
double  n[3] 
) [virtual]

Evaluate the gradient of the box.

Implements vtkImplicitFunction.

double* vtkBox::GetBounds (  ) 

void vtkBox::AddBounds ( double  bounds[6]  ) 

A special method that allows union set operation on bounding boxes. Start with a SetBounds(). Subsequent AddBounds() methods are union set operations on the original bounds. Retrieve the final bounds with a GetBounds() method.

static char vtkBox::IntersectBox ( double  bounds[6],
double  origin[3],
double  dir[3],
double  coord[3],
double &  t 
) [static]

Bounding box intersection modified from Graphics Gems Vol I. The method returns a non-zero value if the bounding box is hit. Origin[3] starts the ray, dir[3] is the vector components of the ray in the x-y-z directions, coord[3] is the location of hit, and t is the parametric coordinate along line. (Notes: the intersection ray dir[3] is NOT normalized. Valid intersections will only occur between 0<=t<=1.)

static int vtkBox::IntersectWithLine ( const double  bounds[6],
const double  p1[3],
const double  p2[3],
double &  t1,
double &  t2,
double  x1[3],
double  x2[3],
int &  plane1,
int &  plane2 
) [static]

Intersect a line with the box. Give the endpoints of the line in p1 and p2. The parameteric distances from p1 to the entry and exit points are returned in t1 and t2, where t1 and t2 are clamped to the range [0,1]. The entry and exit planes are returned in plane1 and plane2 where integers (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) stand for the (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax) planes respectively, and a value of -1 means that no intersection occurred. The actual intersection coordinates are stored in x1 and x2, which can be set to NULL of you do not need them to be returned. The function return value will be zero if the line is wholly outside of the box.
