Constructs and initializes a BoundingSphere from a bounding object.

Parameters:
boundsObject - a bounds object

BoundingSphere

public BoundingSphere(Bounds[] boundsObjects)
Constructs and initializes a BoundingSphere from an array of bounding objects.

Method Detail

getRadius

public double getRadius()
Returns the radius of this bounding sphere as a double.

Returns:
the radius of the bounding sphere

setRadius

public void setRadius(double r)
Sets the radius of this bounding sphere from a double.

Parameters:
r - the new radius for the bounding sphere

getCenter

public void getCenter(Point3d center)
Returns the position of this bounding sphere as a point.

Parameters:
center - a Point to receive the center of the bounding sphere

setCenter

public void setCenter(Point3d center)
Sets the position of this bounding sphere from a point.

Parameters:
center - a Point defining the new center of the bounding sphere

set

public void set(Bounds boundsObject)
Sets the value of this BoundingSphere.

Specified by:
set in class Bounds
Parameters:
boundsObject - another bounds object

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
Creates a copy of the bounding sphere.

Specified by:
clone in class Bounds
Returns:
a BoundingSphere

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object bounds)
Indicates whether the specified bounds object is equal to this BoundingSphere object. They are equal if the specified bounds object is an instance of BoundingSphere and all of the data members of bounds are equal to the corresponding data members in this BoundingSphere.

Specified by:
equals in class Bounds
Parameters:
bounds - the object with which the comparison is made.
Returns:
true if this BoundingSphere is equal to bounds; otherwise false
Since:
Java 3D 1.2

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a hash code value for this BoundingSphere object based on the data values in this object. Two different BoundingSphere objects with identical data values (i.e., BoundingSphere.equals returns true) will return the same hash code value. Two BoundingSphere objects with different data members may return the same hash code value, although this is not likely.

Specified by:
hashCode in class Bounds
Returns:
a hash code value for this BoundingSphere object.
Since:
Java 3D 1.2
