Public Methods

BoundingSphere()

construct to invalid values to represent an unset bounding sphere

inline void init()

initialize to invalid values to represent an unset bounding sphere

inline const bool isValid() const

return true if the bounding sphere contains valid values, false if the bounding sphere is effectively unset

inline Vec3& center()

return the center of the bounding sphere

inline const Vec3& center() const

return the const center of the bounding sphere

inline float& radius()

return the radius of the bounding sphere

inline const float radius() const

return the const radius of the bounding sphere

inline const float radius2() const

return the radius squared.

void expandBy(const Vec3& v)

If the vertex is outwith the sphere expand to ecompass vertex.

void expandRadiusBy(const Vec3& v)

If the vertex is outwith the sphere expand radius to ecompass vertex.

void expandBy(const BoundingSphere& sh)

If incomming sphere is outwith the sphere expand to ecompass incomming sphere.

void expandRadiusBy(const BoundingSphere& sh)

If incomming sphere is outwith the sphere expand radius to ecompass incomming sphere.

inline const bool contains(const Vec3& v) const

return true is vertex v is within the sphere

inline const bool intersects( const BoundingSphere& bs ) const

return true if bounding sphere's intersect each other

Documentation

General purpose bounding sphere class for enclosing nodes/objects/vertices. Used to bound internal osg::Node's in the scene, to assist in view frustrum culling etc. Similar in function to BoundingBox but is quicker for evaluating culling, but generally encloses a greater volume than a BoundingBox so will not cull so aggressively.

BoundingSphere()

construct to invalid values to represent an unset bounding sphere

inline void init()

initialize to invalid values to represent an unset bounding sphere

inline const bool isValid() const

return true if the bounding sphere contains valid values, false if the bounding sphere is effectively unset

inline Vec3& center()

return the center of the bounding sphere

inline const Vec3& center() const

return the const center of the bounding sphere

inline float& radius()

return the radius of the bounding sphere

inline const float radius() const

return the const radius of the bounding sphere

inline const float radius2() const

return the radius squared. Note, for performance reasons, assumes the calling method has ensured that the sphere is valid before calling radius2(), i.e. has _radius>=0.0, as it does not check th validity of sphere and will eroneously return a positive value.

void expandBy(const Vec3& v)

If the vertex is outwith the sphere expand to ecompass vertex. Calculates the combination of movement of center and radius which minimizes the radius increase. If this sphere is empty then move the centrer to v and set radius to 0.

void expandRadiusBy(const Vec3& v)

If the vertex is outwith the sphere expand radius to ecompass vertex. Unlike update, does not move the center, just increasing the radius. If this sphere is empty then move the centrer to v and set radius to 0

void expandBy(const BoundingSphere& sh)

If incomming sphere is outwith the sphere expand to ecompass incomming sphere. calculates the combination of movement of center and radius which minimizes the radius increase. If this sphere is empty then move the centrer to v and set radius to 0.

void expandRadiusBy(const BoundingSphere& sh)

If incomming sphere is outwith the sphere expand radius to ecompass incomming sphere. Unlike update, does not move the center, just increasing the radius. If this sphere is empty then move the centrer to v and set radius to 0.

inline const bool contains(const Vec3& v) const

return true is vertex v is within the sphere

inline const bool intersects( const BoundingSphere& bs ) const

return true if bounding sphere's intersect each other
