Detailed Description

Abstract superclass of all bounding objects (cylinder, cuboid, cone, ellipsoid, etc.).

Manages generic bounding-object functions and provides the pure virtual interface IsInside() that concrete subclasses must implement. Each bounding object carries a VTK surface representation and a flag indicating whether it defines a positive or negative volume for CSG operations.

The object's actual spatial extent is encoded in its Geometry3D spacing; the index bounds are always [-1, 1] on each axis.

Member Function Documentation

◆ FitGeometry()

virtual void mitk::BoundingObject::FitGeometry ( BaseGeometry *  aGeometry3D)
virtual

Sets the Geometry3D of the bounding object to fit the given geometry.

The fit is performed once. Subsequent changes to the source geometry will not be reflected in this bounding object.

Parameters
[in]aGeometry3DThe geometry whose extents define the new size and orientation of this bounding object.

◆ GetPositive()

virtual bool mitk::BoundingObject::GetPositive ( )
virtual

Get whether this bounding object defines a positive volume.

◆ GetVolume()

virtual mitk::ScalarType mitk::BoundingObject::GetVolume ( )
virtual

Calculate and return the volume of this bounding object.

The default implementation returns 0. Subclasses override this to compute the actual volume from the object's geometry extents.

Returns
The volume in world-coordinate units cubed.

Reimplemented in mitk::Plane, mitk::Ellipsoid, mitk::Cylinder, mitk::Cuboid, and mitk::Cone.

◆ IsInside()

virtual bool mitk::BoundingObject::IsInside ( const mitk::Point3D &  p) const
pure virtual

Test whether a world-coordinate point lies inside this bounding object.

Parameters
[in]pThe point in world coordinates to test.
Returns
true if the point is inside the object.

Implemented in mitk::Plane, mitk::Ellipsoid, mitk::Cylinder, mitk::Cuboid, mitk::Cone, and mitk::BoundingObjectGroup.

virtual

◆ PositiveOn()

virtual void mitk::BoundingObject::PositiveOn ( )
virtual

Toggle the Positive flag.

◆ SetPositive()

virtual void mitk::BoundingObject::SetPositive ( bool  _arg)
virtual

Set whether this bounding object defines a positive volume.
