public abstract class Bounds
extends Object
implements Cloneable
Abstract class for bounding objects. Sub-classes are BoundingSphere, BoundingBox and BoundingPolytope

Constructor Index

o Bounds()

Method Index

o clone()
Makes a copy of a bounds object.
o combine(Bounds)
Combines this bounding object with a bounding object so that the resulting bounding object encloses the original bounding object and the given bounds object.
o combine(Bounds[])
Combines this bounding object with an array of bounding objects so that the resulting bounding object encloses the original bounding object and the given array of bounds object.
o combine(Point3d)
Combines this bounding object with a point
o combine(Point3d[])
Combines this bounding object with an array of points
o intersect(Bounds)
Test for intersection with another bounds object
o intersect(Bounds[])
Test for intersection with another bounds object
o intersect(Point3d)
Test for intersection with a point
o intersect(Point3d, Point3d)
Test for intersection with a ray
o isEmpty()
Tests if any objects are in a bounding object
o set(Bounds)
Sets the position of this bounding object from a point.
o transform(Bounds, Transform3D)
Modifies the bounding object so that it bounds the volume generated by transforming the given bounding object.
o transform(Transform3D)
This transforms this bounding object by the given matrix

Methods

o clone 
 public abstract Object clone()
Makes a copy of a bounds object.

Overrides:
clone in class Object
o intersect 
 public abstract boolean intersect(Point3d origin,
                                   Point3d direction)
Test for intersection with a ray

Parameters:
1 - origin is a the starting point of the ray
2 - direction is the direction of the ray
Returns:
true or false indicating if an intersection occured
o intersect 
 public abstract boolean intersect(Point3d point)
Test for intersection with a point

Parameters:
point - is a point defining a position in 3-space
Returns:
true or false indicating if an intersection occured
o intersect 
 public abstract boolean intersect(Bounds boundsObject)
Test for intersection with another bounds object

Parameters:
boundsObject - is another bounds object
Returns:
true or false indicating if an intersection occured
o intersect 
 public abstract boolean intersect(Bounds boundsObjects[])
Test for intersection with another bounds object

Parameters:
boundsObjects - is an array of bounding objects
Returns:
true or false indicating if an intersection occured
o combine 
 public abstract void combine(Bounds boundsObject)
Combines this bounding object with a bounding object so that the resulting bounding object encloses the original bounding object and the given bounds object.

Parameters:
boundsObject - is another bounds object
o combine 
 public abstract void combine(Bounds boundsObjects[])

Combines this bounding object with an array of points

Parameters:
points - is an array of 3d points in space
o transform 
 public abstract void transform(Transform3D trans)
This transforms this bounding object by the given matrix

o transform 
 public abstract void transform(Bounds bounds,
                                Transform3D trans)
Modifies the bounding object so that it bounds the volume generated by transforming the given bounding object.

Parameters:
boundsObject - is the bounding object to be transformed
matrix - is a transformation matrix
o isEmpty 
 public abstract boolean isEmpty()
Tests if any objects are in a bounding object

o set 
 public abstract void set(Bounds boundsObject)
