Detailed Description

template<int spacedim, typename Number = double>
class BoundingBox< spacedim, Number >

A class that represents a bounding box in a space with arbitrary dimension spacedim.

Objects of this class are used to represent bounding boxes. They are, among other uses, useful in parallel distributed meshes to give a general description the owners of each portion of the mesh.

Bounding boxes are represented by two vertices (bottom left and top right). Geometrically, a bounding box is:

1 d: a segment (represented by its vertices in the proper order)
2 d: a rectangle (represented by the vertices V at bottom left, top right)
.--------V
| |
V--------.
3 d: a cuboid (in which case the two vertices V follow the convention and are not owned by the same face)
.------V
/ /|
.------. |
| | /
| |/
V------.
Notice the sides are always parallel to the respective axis.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<int spacedim, typename Number = double>

BoundingBox< spacedim, Number >::BoundingBox ( )

default

Standard constructor. Creates an object that corresponds to an empty box, i.e. a degenerate box with both points being the origin.

template<int spacedim, typename Number = double>

BoundingBox< spacedim, Number >::BoundingBox ( const std::pair< Point< spacedim, Number >, Point< spacedim, Number >> & boundary_points )

Standard constructor for non-empty boxes: it uses a pair of points which describe the box: one for the bottom and one for the top corner.
