Detailed Description

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

A class that represents a box of arbitrary dimension spacedim and with sides parallel to the coordinate axes, that is, a region

\[ [x_0^L, x_0^U] \times ... \times [x_{spacedim-1}^L, x_{spacedim-1}^U], \]

where \((x_0^L , ..., x_{spacedim-1}^L)\) and \((x_0^U , ..., x_{spacedim-1}^U)\) denote the two vertices (bottom left and top right) which are used to represent the box. The quantities \(x_k^L\) and \(x_k^U\) denote the "lower" and "upper" bounds of values that are within the box for each coordinate direction \(k\).

Geometrically, a bounding box is thus:

Bounding boxes are, for example, useful in parallel distributed meshes to give a general description of the owners of each portion of the mesh. More generally, bounding boxes are often used to roughly describe a region of space in which an object is contained; if a candidate point is not within the bounding box (a test that is cheap to execute), then it is not necessary to perform an expensive test whether the candidate point is in fact inside the object itself. Bounding boxes are therefore often used as a first, cheap rejection test before more detailed checks. As such, bounding boxes serve many of the same purposes as the convex hull, for which it is also relatively straightforward to compute whether a point is inside or outside, though not quite as cheap as for the bounding box.

Taking the cross section of a BoundingBox<spacedim> orthogonal to a given direction gives a box in one dimension lower: BoundingBox<spacedim - 1>. In 3d, the 2 coordinates of the cross section of BoundingBox<3> can be ordered in 2 different ways. That is, if we take the cross section orthogonal to the y direction we could either order a 3d-coordinate into a 2d-coordinate as \((x,z)\) or as \((z,x)\). This class uses the second convention, corresponding to the coordinates being ordered cyclicly \(x \rightarrow y \rightarrow z \rightarrow x \rightarrow ... \) To be precise, if we take a cross section:

Orthogonal to Cross section coordinates ordered as
x (y, z)
y (z, x)
z (x, y)

This is according to the convention set by the function coordinate_to_one_dim_higher.

◆ get_neighbor_type()

template<int spacedim, typename Number >
NeighborType BoundingBox< spacedim, Number >::get_neighbor_type ( const BoundingBox< spacedim, Number > &  other_bbox,
const double  tolerance = std::numeric_limits<Number>::epsilon() 
) const

Check which NeighborType other_bbox is to the current object.

Definition at line 79 of file bounding_box.cc.

◆ merge_with()

template<int spacedim, typename Number >
void BoundingBox< spacedim, Number >::merge_with ( const BoundingBox< spacedim, Number > &  other_bbox)

Enlarge the current object so that it contains other_bbox . If the current object already contains other_bbox then it is not changed by this function.

◆ extend()

template<int spacedim, typename Number = double>
void BoundingBox< spacedim, Number >::extend ( const Number  amount)

Increase (or decrease) the size of the bounding box by the given amount. After calling this method, the lower left corner of the bounding box will have each coordinate decreased by amount, and the upper right corner of the bounding box will have each coordinate increased by amount.

If you call this method with a negative number, and one of the axes of the original bounding box is smaller than amount/2, the method will trigger an assertion.

◆ create_extended()

template<int spacedim, typename Number = double>
BoundingBox< spacedim, Number > BoundingBox< spacedim, Number >::create_extended ( const Number  amount) const

The same as above with the difference that a new BoundingBox instance is created without changing the current object.

◆ create_extended_relative()

template<int spacedim, typename Number = double>
BoundingBox< spacedim, Number > BoundingBox< spacedim, Number >::create_extended_relative ( const Number  relative_amount) const

Increase (or decrease) each side of the bounding box by the given relative_amount.

After calling this method, the lower left corner of the bounding box will have each coordinate decreased by relative_amount * side_length(direction), and the upper right corner of the bounding box will have each coordinate increased by relative_amount * side_length(direction).

If you call this method with a negative number, and one of the axes of the original bounding box is smaller than relative_amount * side_length(direction) / 2, the method will trigger an assertion.

◆ volume()

◆ vertex()

template<int spacedim, typename Number >
Point< spacedim, Number > BoundingBox< spacedim, Number >::vertex ( const unsigned int  index) const

Returns the indexth vertex of the box. Vertex is meant in the same way as for a cell, so that index \(\in [0, 2^{\text{dim}} - 1]\).

Definition at line 232 of file bounding_box.cc.

◆ child()

template<int spacedim, typename Number >
BoundingBox< spacedim, Number > BoundingBox< spacedim, Number >::child ( const unsigned int  index) const

◆ coordinate_to_one_dim_higher()

template<int dim>
int coordinate_to_one_dim_higher ( const int  locked_coordinate,
const int  coordinate_in_dim 
)
related

This function defines a convention for how coordinates in dim dimensions should translate to the coordinates in dim + 1 dimensions, when one of the coordinates in dim + 1 dimensions is locked to a given value.

The convention is the following: Starting from the locked coordinate we store the lower dimensional coordinates consecutively and wrap around when going over the dimension. This relationship is, in 2d,

locked in 2D 1d coordinate 2d coordinate
x0 (a) (x0, a)
x1 (a) (a , x1)

and, in 3d,

locked in 3D 2d coordinates 3d coordinates
x0 (a, b) (x0, a, b)
x1 (a, b) ( b, x1, a)
x2 (a, b) ( a, b, x2)

Given a locked coordinate, this function maps a coordinate index in dim dimension to a coordinate index in dim + 1 dimensions.

Parameters
locked_coordinateshould be in the range [0, dim+1).
coordinate_in_dimshould be in the range [0, dim).
Returns
A coordinate index in the range [0, dim+1)
