Category: Built-In Types

Brief Description

Axis-Aligned Bounding Box.

Description

AABB consists of a position, a size, and several utility functions. It is typically used for fast overlap tests.

Property Descriptions

Ending corner.


Beginning corner.


Size from position to end.

Method Descriptions

Optional constructor, accepts position and size.


Returns true if this AABB completely encloses another one.


Returns this AABB expanded to include a given point.


Gets the area of the AABB.


Gets the position of the 8 endpoints of the AABB in space.


Returns the normalized longest axis of the AABB.


  • int get_longest_axis_index ( )

Returns the index of the longest axis of the AABB (according to Vector3::AXIS* enum).


  • float get_longest_axis_size ( )

Returns the scalar length of the longest axis of the AABB.


Returns the normalized shortest axis of the AABB.


  • int get_shortest_axis_index ( )

Returns the index of the shortest axis of the AABB (according to Vector3::AXIS* enum).


  • float get_shortest_axis_size ( )

Returns the scalar length of the shortest axis of the AABB.


Returns the support point in a given direction. This is useful for collision detection algorithms.


Returns a copy of the AABB grown a given amount of units towards all the sides.


  • bool has_no_area ( )

Returns true if the AABB is flat or empty.


  • bool has_no_surface ( )

Returns true if the AABB is empty.


Returns true if the AABB contains a point.


Returns the intersection between two AABB. An empty AABB (size 0,0,0) is returned on failure.


Returns true if the AABB overlaps with another.


Returns true if the AABB is on both sides of a plane.


Returns true if the AABB intersects the line segment between from and to.


Returns a larger AABB that contains this AABB and with.
