## Detailed Description

A 3D box aligned with the x/y/z axes.

Remarks:
  This class represents a simple box which is aligned with the axes. Internally it only stores 2 points as the extremeties of the box, one which is the minima of all 3 axes, and the other which is the maxima of all 3 axes. This class is typically used for an axis-aligned bounding box (AABB) for collision and visibility determination.

const Vector3* Ogre::AxisAlignedBox::getAllCorners | ( | void |  | ) | const

Returns a pointer to an array of 8 corner points, useful for collision vs.

non-aligned objects.

Remarks:
  If the order of these corners is important, they are as follows: The 4 points of the minimum Z face (note that because Ogre uses right-handed coordinates, the minimum Z is at the 'back' of the box) starting with the minimum point of all, then anticlockwise around this face (if you are looking onto the face from outside the box). Then the 4 points of the maximum Z face, starting with maximum point of all, then anticlockwise around this face (looking onto the face from outside the box). Like this:

      		1-----2
      		/|    /|
      		/ |   / |
      		5-----4  |
      		|  0--|--3
      		| /   | /
      		|/    |/
      		6-----7

  as this implementation uses a static member, make sure to use your own copy !

void Ogre::AxisAlignedBox::merge | ( | const Vector3 & | point | ) |

Definition at line 406 of file OgreAxisAlignedBox.h.

void Ogre::AxisAlignedBox::transform | ( | const Matrix4 & | matrix | ) |

Transforms the box according to the matrix supplied.

Remarks:
  By calling this method you get the axis-aligned box which surrounds the transformed version of this box. Therefore each corner of the box is transformed by the matrix, then the extents are mapped back onto the axes to produce another AABB. Useful when you have a local AABB for an object which is then transformed.

void Ogre::AxisAlignedBox::transformAffine | ( | const Matrix4 & | m | ) |

Transforms the box according to the affine matrix supplied.

Remarks:
  By calling this method you get the axis-aligned box which surrounds the transformed version of this box. Therefore each corner of the box is transformed by the matrix, then the extents are mapped back onto the axes to produce another AABB. Useful when you have a local AABB for an object which is then transformed.

Note:
  The matrix must be an affine matrix.
