system. If it is finite, it is defined by the three intervals:

	Creates an empty Box. The constructed box is qualified Void. Its gap is null.
void	SetWhole ()
	Sets this bounding box so that it covers the whole of 3D space. It is infinitely long in all directions.
void	SetVoid ()
	Sets this bounding box so that it is empty. All points are outside a void box.
void	Set (const gp_Pnt &P)
	Sets this bounding box so that it bounds
void	Set (const gp_Pnt &P, const gp_Dir &D)
	Sets this bounding box so that it bounds the half-line defined by point P and direction D, i.e. all points M defined by M=P+u*D, where u is greater than or equal to 0, are inside the bounding volume. This involves first setting this box to be void and then adding the half-line.
void	Update (const Standard_Real aXmin, const Standard_Real aYmin, const Standard_Real aZmin, const Standard_Real aXmax, const Standard_Real aYmax, const Standard_Real aZmax)
	Enlarges this bounding box, if required, so that it contains at least:
void	Update (const Standard_Real X, const Standard_Real Y, const Standard_Real Z)
	Adds a point of coordinates (X,Y,Z) to this bounding box.
Standard_Real	GetGap () const
	Returns the gap of this bounding box.
void	SetGap (const Standard_Real Tol)
	Set the gap of this bounding box to abs(Tol).
void	Enlarge (const Standard_Real Tol)
	Enlarges the box with a tolerance value. (minvalues-Abs(<tol>) and maxvalues+Abs(<tol>)) This means that the minimum values of its X, Y and Z intervals of definition, when they are finite, are reduced by the absolute value of Tol, while the maximum values are increased by the same amount.

	Returns the bounds of this bounding box. The gap is included. If this bounding box is infinite (i.e. "open"), returned values may be equal to +/- Precision::Infinite(). if IsVoid()

Standard_Boolean	IsThin (const Standard_Real tol) const
	Returns true if IsXThin, IsYThin and IsZThin are all true, i.e. if the box is thin in all three dimensions.
Bnd_Box	Transformed (const gp_Trsf &T) const
	Returns a bounding box which is the result of applying the transformation T to this bounding box. Warning Applying a geometric transformation (for example, a rotation) to a bounding box generally increases its dimensions. This is not optimal for algorithms which use it.

	Returns True if the Pnt is out the box.

	Returns False if the flat band lying between two parallel lines represented by their reference points <P1>, <P2> and direction <D> intersects the box.
Standard_Real	Distance (const Bnd_Box &Other) const
	Computes the minimum distance between two boxes.
void	Dump () const
Standard_Real	SquareExtent () const
	Computes the squared diagonal of me.

Detailed Description

• [ Xmin,Xmax ],
  
• [ Ymin,Ymax ],
  
• [ Zmin,Zmax ].
  A bounding box may be infinite (i.e. open) in one or more
  directions. It is said to be:
  
• OpenXmin if it is infinite on the negative side of the "X Direction";
  
• OpenXmax if it is infinite on the positive side of the "X Direction";
  
• OpenYmin if it is infinite on the negative side of the "Y Direction";
  
• OpenYmax if it is infinite on the positive side of the "Y Direction";
  
• OpenZmin if it is infinite on the negative side of the "Z Direction";
  
• OpenZmax if it is infinite on the positive side of the "Z Direction";
  
• WholeSpace if it is infinite in all six directions. In this
  case, any point of the space is inside the box;
  
• Void if it is empty. In this case, there is no point included in the box.
  A bounding box is defined by:
  
• six bounds (Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, Ymax, Zmin and
  Zmax) which limit the bounding box if it is finite,
  
• eight flags (OpenXmin, OpenXmax, OpenYmin,
  OpenYmax, OpenZmin, OpenZmax,
  WholeSpace and Void) which describe the
  bounding box if it is infinite or empty, and
  
• a gap, which is included on both sides in any direction
  when consulting the finite bounds of the box.
