VisualizationFoundation CAT3DBoundingSphere

Usage: you must use this class as is. You should never derive it.


public class CAT3DBoundingSphere

Class to manage bounding volume of 3D elements.
Role:This class is used to manage the volume occupied by a 3D element.
This information is used at the rendering time to know if a given element is visible on the screen and needs to be drawn or not.
For performance issues BoundingSpheres need to be as close to the object they are linked to as possible.
Idealy they represent the smallest sphere containing the object. You can add 2 3DBoundingSpheres using the += operator


Constructor and Destructor Index


o CAT3DBoundingSphere()
Constructs an empty boundingSphere.
o CAT3DBoundingSphere(CAT2DBoundingBox&)
Constructs a BoundingSphere from a 2D box.
o CAT3DBoundingSphere(CAT3DBoundingSphere&)
Copy constructor.
o CAT3DBoundingSphere(CATMathPointf&,float,float)
Constructs a 3DBoundingSphere with a given center, radius and radius in mm.
o ~CAT3DBoundingSphere()
Destructor.

Method Index


o GetCenter()
Returns the 3DBoundingSphere center.
o GetRadius()
Returns the radius of the 3DBoundingSphere.
o GetRadiusMM()
Returns the radius for fixed element.
o operator *=(CAT4x4Matrix&)
Multiply operator.
o operator +=(CAT3DBoundingSphere&)
Add operator.
o operator =(CAT3DBoundingSphere&)
Assign a new value to the current BoundingSphere.

Constructor and Destructor


o CAT3DBoundingSphere
public CAT3DBoundingSphere()
Constructs an empty boundingSphere. default center will be 0,0,0 and default radius 1
o CAT3DBoundingSphere
public CAT3DBoundingSphere( const )
Constructs a BoundingSphere from a 2D box.
o CAT3DBoundingSphere
public CAT3DBoundingSphere( const )
Copy constructor.
o CAT3DBoundingSphere
public CAT3DBoundingSphere( const center,
const radius,
const radius_mm= 0.f)
Constructs a 3DBoundingSphere with a given center, radius and radius in mm.
Parameters:
center
The center of the boundingSphere
radius
The radius of the boundingSphere in model unit.
radius_mm
This is used for elements with fixed size on the screen on which zoom has no effect.
Default is 0.
o ~CAT3DBoundingSphere
public virtual ~CAT3DBoundingSphere()
Destructor.

Methods


o GetCenter
public GetCenter()
Returns the 3DBoundingSphere center.
o GetRadius
public GetRadius()
Returns the radius of the 3DBoundingSphere.
o GetRadiusMM
public GetRadiusMM()
Returns the radius for fixed element. (Element with fixed size on the screen on which zoom has no effect.)
o operator *=
public operator *=( const mat)
Multiply operator. Multiply a BoundingSphere by a given Matrix.
Parameters:
mat
The matrix to apply to the Sphere
o operator +=
public operator +=( const )
Add operator. Add 2 boundingSpheres.
o operator =
public operator =( const )
Assign a new value to the current BoundingSphere.
