Detailed Description

An axis aligned box, same as Box, but hollow.

The major difference with Box lies in the definition of the distance to the object.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BoxEmpty() [1/3]

BoxEmpty::BoxEmpty ( const Vector &  a, const Vector &  b  )

explicit

Create a box given two opposite corners. Note that this constructor does not check the coordinates of the two vectors. Therefore, the coordinates of a should be lower than those of b.

To create the box given two vectors a and b in the general case, one should use:

BoxEmpty box(Vector::Min(a,b),Vector::Max(a,b));

Parameters

a,b	End vertices.

BoxEmpty() [2/3]

BoxEmpty::BoxEmpty ( const Vector &  c, const double &  r  )

explicit

Create a box given a center point and the half side length.

Parameters

c	Center.
r	Half side length.

BoxEmpty() [3/3]

BoxEmpty::BoxEmpty ( const Box &  box )

explicit

Create an empty box given a box.

Parameters

box

The box.

Member Function Documentation

Normal()

Vector BoxEmpty::Normal

(

const Vector &

p

)

const

Computes the vector distance between the box and a point.

Parameters

p

Point.

R()

double BoxEmpty::R

(

const Vector &

p

)

const

Computes the squared distance between the hollow-box and a point.

Parameters

p

Point.

Signed()

double BoxEmpty::Signed

(

const Vector &

p

)
