Geometry
Max – This property returns the maximum corner of the box. This is defined as the
Point3, which is furthest from the origin along all three axes.
Box3 bx1 = new Box3(new Point3 (1, 20, 3), new Point3(10, 11, 12));
Point3 pt1 = bx1.Max;
//result is pt1(10, 20, 12)
This example illustrates a box created from a pair of points that are at corners that are
close to the Y axis and X axis respectively. Consequently the max point for the box is a
point that uses the X location from one of the input corners and the Y location from the
other.
Min - This property returns the minimum corner of the box. This is defined as the Point3
which is closest to the origin along all three axes.
Box3 bx1 = new Box3(new Point3 (1, 20, 3), new Point3(10, 11, 12));
Point3 pt1 = bx1.Min;
//result is pt1(1, 11, 3)
This example, like the one above for Max, finds the minimum corner of the box from
different parts of the two input points.
IsDegenerate - This property returns true if this box is degenerated into a plane or
point. A box degenerates to a plane when the value for one axis is the same for both
corner points.
Box3 bt = new Box3(new Point3 (1, 20, 30), new Point3(10, 11, 30));
bool result = bt.IsDegenerate;
//result is true
Box3 bt2 = new Box3(new Point3 (1, 20, 30), new Point3(10, 11, 40));
result = bt2.IsDegenerate;
//result is false
The first box is degenerated into a horizontal plane because the Z value for the input
points is the same. The second box does not degenerate to a plane since none of the X, Y,
or Z values of the input points match.
The public fields for the Box class are:
Null – This method defines a null box instance.
Box3 nullBox = new Box3(Point3.Null, Point3.Null);
Box3 defines two public operators:
