Box Structure |
Represents the value of a plane and three intervals in
an orthogonal, oriented box that is not necessarily parallel to the world Y, X, Z axes.
Namespace: Rhino.Geometry
Assembly: RhinoCommon (in RhinoCommon.dll)
SyntaxThe Box type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Box(BoundingBox) |
Initializes a new Box that mimics a BoundingBox struct.
The orientation plane of the Box is coincident with the World XY plane. |
| Box(Box) | Copy constructor.
|
| Box(Plane, BoundingBox) |
Initializes a world aligned box from a base plane and a bounding box.
|
| Box(Plane, GeometryBase) |
Initializes a box that contains a generic piece of geometry.
This box will be aligned with an arbitrary plane.
|
| Box(Plane, IEnumerablePoint3d) |
Initializes the smallest box that contains a set of points.
|
| Box(Plane, Interval, Interval, Interval) |
Initializes a new box from a base Plane and three Intervals.
|
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Area |
Gets the total surface area of this box.
|
| BoundingBox |
Gets the world axis aligned Bounding box for this oriented box.
|
| Center |
Gets the point that is in the center of the box.
|
 | Empty |
Empty Box. Empty boxes are considered to be invalid.
|
| IsValid |
Gets the validity of this Box. Boxes are invalid when the base plane or any of
the dimension intervals are invalid or decreasing.
|
| Plane |
Gets or sets the orientation plane for this Box.
|
| Unset |
Gets a Box whose base plane and axis dimensions are all Unset.
|
| Volume |
Gets the total volume of this box.
|
| X |
Gets or sets the Interval that describes the dimension of the
Box along the orientation plane X-Axis. Otherwise known as the Width of the Box.
|
| Y |
Gets or sets the Interval that describes the dimension of the
Box along the orientation plane Y-Axis. Otherwise known as the Depth of the Box.
|
| Z |
Gets or sets the Interval that describes the dimension of the
Box along the orientation plane Z-Axis. Otherwise known as the Height of the Box.
|
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| ClosestPoint |
Finds the closest point on or in the Box. The box should be Valid for this to work.
|
| Contains(BoundingBox) |
Test a bounding box for Box inclusion. This is the same as calling Contains(box,false)
|
| Contains(Box) |
Test a box for Box inclusion. This is the same as calling Contains(box,false)
|
| Contains(Point3d) |
Determines whether a point is included in this box. This is the same as calling Contains(point,false)
|
| Contains(BoundingBox, Boolean) |
Test a bounding box for Box inclusion.
|
| Contains(Box, Boolean) |
Test a box for Box inclusion.
|
| Contains(Point3d, Boolean) |
Determines whether a point is included in this box.
|
| EpsilonEquals |
Check that all values in other are within epsilon of the values in this
|
| Equals | Indicates whether this instance and a specified object are equal. (Inherited from ValueType.) |
| FurthestPoint |
Finds the furthest point on the Box. The Box should be Valid for this to work properly.
|
| GetCorners |
Gets an array of the 8 corner points of this box.
|
| GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Inflate(Double) |
Inflates the box by a given offset in each direction.
Inflating with negative amounts may result in decreasing boxes.
InValid boxes cannot be inflated.
|
| Inflate(Double, Double, Double) |
Inflates the box by a given offset in each direction.
Inflating with negative amounts may result in decreasing boxes.
InValid boxes cannot be inflated.
|
| MakeValid |
Attempts to make the Box valid. This is not always possible.
|
| PointAt |
Evaluates the box volume at the given unitized parameters.
The box has idealized side length of 1x1x1. |
| RepositionBasePlane |
Repositions the origin of the Base plane for this box without affecting
the physical dimensions.
|
| ToBrep |
Constructs a brep representation of this box.
|
| ToExtrusion |
Constructs an extrusion representation of this box.
|
| ToString | Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.) |
| Transform |
Transforms this Box using a Transformation matrix. If the Transform does not preserve
Similarity, the dimensions of the resulting box cannot be trusted.
|
| Union |
Constructs a union between this Box and the given point.
This grows the box in directions so it contains the point.
