Detailed Description

template<typename T, Size DIM>
class mi::math::Bbox<T, DIM>

Axis-aligned N-dimensional bounding box class template of fixed dimension.

A bounding box is represented by two mi::math::Vector vectors representing the elementwise minimal box corner, min, and the elementwise largest box corner, max.

An instantiation of the bounding box class template is a model of the STL container concept. It provides random access to its two vectors and corresponding random access iterators.

The template parameters have the following requirements:

  • T: an arithmetic type supporting + - * / == != < > <= >= .
  • DIM: a value > 0 of type mi::Size that defines the fixed dimension of the vectors used to represent the bounding box.
