computeDistanceSquaredToPosition()

double CesiumGeometry::BoundingSphere::computeDistanceSquaredToPosition ( const glm::dvec3 &  position ) const

noexcept

Computes the distance squared from a position to the closest point on this bounding sphere. Returns 0 if the point is inside the sphere.

Parameters

position

The position.

Returns

The distance squared from the position to the closest point on this bounding sphere.

  // Sort bounding spheres from back to front
  glm::dvec3 cameraPosition = anyOldCameraPosition();
  std::vector<BoundingSphere> spheres = anyOldSphereArray();
  std::sort(
      spheres.begin(),
      spheres.end(),
      [&cameraPosition](auto& a, auto& b) {
        return a.computeDistanceSquaredToPosition(cameraPosition) >
               b.computeDistanceSquaredToPosition(cameraPosition);
      });

contains()

bool CesiumGeometry::BoundingSphere::contains ( const glm::dvec3 &  position ) const

noexcept

Computes whether the given position is contained within the bounding sphere.

Parameters

position

The position.

Returns

Whether the position is contained within the bounding sphere.

intersectPlane()

CullingResult CesiumGeometry::BoundingSphere::intersectPlane ( const Plane &  plane ) const

noexcept

Determines on which side of a plane this boundings sphere is located.

Parameters

plane

The plane to test against.

Returns

The CullingResult:

• Inside if the entire sphere is on the side of the plane the normal is pointing.
• Outside if the entire sphere is on the opposite side.
• Intersecting if the sphere intersects the plane.

transform()

BoundingSphere CesiumGeometry::BoundingSphere::transform ( const glm::dmat4 &  transformation ) const

noexcept

Transforms this bounding sphere to another coordinate system using a 4x4 matrix.

If the transformation has non-uniform scale, the bounding sphere's radius is scaled by the largest scale value among the transformation's axes.

Parameters

transformation

The transformation.

Returns

The bounding sphere in the new coordinate system.
