AxisAlignedBoundingBox

new AxisAlignedBoundingBox(minimum, maximum, center)

Creates an instance of an AxisAlignedBoundingBox from the minimum and maximum points along the x, y, and z axes.

minimum Cartesian3 Cartesian3.ZERO optional The minimum point along the x, y, and z axes.
maximum Cartesian3 Cartesian3.ZERO optional The maximum point along the x, y, and z axes.
center Cartesian3 optional The center of the box; automatically computed if not supplied.

Methods

staticAxisAlignedBoundingBox.clone(box, result) → AxisAlignedBoundingBox

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)
Source: Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js, line 129

staticAxisAlignedBoundingBox.equals(left, right) → Boolean

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.
Source: Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js, line 153

staticAxisAlignedBoundingBox.fromPoints(positions, result) → AxisAlignedBoundingBox

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 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)]);
Source: Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js, line 70

staticAxisAlignedBoundingBox.intersect(box, plane) → Intersect

Determines which side of a plane a box is located.
Name Type Description
box AxisAlignedBoundingBox The bounding box to test.
plane Cartesian4 The coefficients of the plane in the form ax + by + cz + d = 0 where the coefficients a, b, c, and d are the components x, y, z, and w of the Cartesian4, respectively.
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.
Source: Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js, line 176

clone(result) → AxisAlignedBoundingBox

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.
Source: Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js, line 210

equals(right) → Boolean

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.
Source: Core/AxisAlignedBoundingBox.js, line 238

intersect(plane) → Intersect

Determines which side of a plane this box is located.
Name Type Description
plane Cartesian4 The coefficients of the plane in the form ax + by + cz + d = 0 where the coefficients a, b, c, and d are the components x, y, z, and w of the Cartesian4, respectively.
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.
