Interface Box

public interface Box

Box (Hyperrectangle) is generalization of a rectangle in 3-dimensional space. (Think of a normal real-life box.)

Since:

9.10.8

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static Box	create(Rectangle3d bottomRectangle, double height) Creates a new instance of a box from given parameters.
Rectangle3d	getBottomRectangle() Returns the bottom rectangle of this box.
double	getHeight() Returns the height of this box.
Vector3d	getUpDirection() A convenience method for getting the up direction of this box.

Method Detail

getBottomRectangle

Rectangle3d getBottomRectangle()

Returns the bottom rectangle of this box. The bottom rectangle also defines the directioning of the box. The side up is defined by the direction of the cross product from the vectors of the first three points in the rectangle. This is analoguous to Triangle3d. For example, if the bottom rectangle is formed by points (0,0,0), (1,0,0), (1,1,0) and (0,1,0), the up direction is to direction of the positive Z-unit vector.

Returns:

the bottom rectangle

9.10.8

getHeight

double getHeight()

Returns the height of this box. Note that the bottom rectangle defines the direction of "up", so this is just a scalar.

Returns:

the height of this box

Since:

9.10.8

getUpDirection

Vector3d getUpDirection()

A convenience method for getting the up direction of this box.

Returns:

the up direction

create

static Box create(Rectangle3d bottomRectangle,
                  double height)

Creates a new instance of a box from given parameters.

Parameters:

bottomRectangle - the bottom rectangle of the box

height - the height of the box

Returns:

the new box instance
