box
A cuboidal solid or a general hexahedral body with six tetragonal faces sharing eight corners.
Signatures
- box()
- box( float width, float depth, float height )
- box( float minX, float maxX, float minY, float maxY, float minZ, float maxZ )
- box( vector corner1, vector corner2, vector corner3, vector corner4, vector corner5, vector corner6, vector corner7, vector corner8 )
- box( float width, float depth, float height, vector position )
Details
Constructor (4) requires the eight points to be defined in the right order, as is shown in the figure. If the given order leads to self-intersections, the program throws a warning and tries to automatically adjust correct the point order. Constructor (1) generates a cube with edge length 1 with the corner with the minimal values of X, Y, Z at the origin <[0,0,0]>. Constructors (2), (3) and (5) generate axis-aligned boxes with with variant sizes in X (width), Y (depth) and Z (height) directions.
Box corners order of constructor (4).
