Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js 55

The center point of the bounding box.

maximum : Cartesian3
Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js 41

Default Value: Cartesian3.ZERO

Methods

staticCesium.AxisAlignedBoundingBox.clone(box, result) → AxisAlignedBoundingBox
Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js 128

Duplicates a AxisAlignedBoundingBox instance.
Name Type Description
box AxisAlignedBoundingBox The bounding box to duplicate.
result AxisAlignedBoundingBox optional The object onto which to store the result.
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new AxisAlignedBoundingBox instance if none was provided. (Returns undefined if box is undefined)

staticCesium.AxisAlignedBoundingBox.equals(left, right) → Boolean
Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js 151

Compares the provided AxisAlignedBoundingBox componentwise and returns true if they are equal, false otherwise.
Name Type Description
left AxisAlignedBoundingBox optional The first AxisAlignedBoundingBox.
right AxisAlignedBoundingBox optional The second AxisAlignedBoundingBox.
Returns:
true if left and right are equal, false otherwise.

staticCesium.AxisAlignedBoundingBox.fromPoints(positions, result) → AxisAlignedBoundingBox
Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js 70

Computes an instance of an AxisAlignedBoundingBox. The box is determined by finding the points spaced the farthest apart on the x, y, and z axes.
Name Type Description
positions Array.<Cartesian3> List of points that the bounding box will enclose. Each point must have a x, y, and z properties.
result AxisAlignedBoundingBox optional The object onto which to store the result.
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new AxisAlignedBoundingBox instance if one was not provided.
Example:
// Compute an axis aligned bounding box enclosing two points.
var box = Cesium.AxisAlignedBoundingBox.fromPoints([new Cesium.Cartesian3(2, 0, 0), new Cesium.Cartesian3(-2, 0, 0)]);

staticCesium.AxisAlignedBoundingBox.intersectPlane(box, plane) → Intersect
Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js 171

Determines which side of a plane a box is located.
Name Type Description
box AxisAlignedBoundingBox The bounding box to test.
plane Plane The plane to test against.
Returns:
Intersect.INSIDE if the entire box is on the side of the plane the normal is pointing, Intersect.OUTSIDE if the entire box is on the opposite side, and Intersect.INTERSECTING if the box intersects the plane.

clone(result) → AxisAlignedBoundingBox
Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js 205

Duplicates this AxisAlignedBoundingBox instance.
Name Type Description
result AxisAlignedBoundingBox optional The object onto which to store the result.
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new AxisAlignedBoundingBox instance if one was not provided.

equals(right) → Boolean
Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js 229

Compares this AxisAlignedBoundingBox against the provided AxisAlignedBoundingBox componentwise and returns true if they are equal, false otherwise.
Name Type Description
right AxisAlignedBoundingBox optional The right hand side AxisAlignedBoundingBox.
Returns:
true if they are equal, false otherwise.

intersectPlane(plane) → Intersect
Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js 218

Determines which side of a plane this box is located.
Name Type Description
plane Plane The plane to test against.
Returns:
Intersect.INSIDE if the entire box is on the side of the plane the normal is pointing, Intersect.OUTSIDE if the entire box is on the opposite side, and Intersect.INTERSECTING if the box intersects the plane.
