Member Variables
----------------

  .. _class_AABB_end:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **end** - Ending corner.

  .. _class_AABB_position:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **position** - Beginning corner.

  .. _class_AABB_size:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **size** - Size from position to end.


Description
-----------

AABB consists of a position, a size, and several utility functions. It is typically used for fast overlap tests.

Member Function Description
---------------------------

.. _class_AABB_AABB:

- :ref:`AABB<class_aabb>` **AABB** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` position, :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` size **)**

Optional constructor, accepts position and size.

.. _class_AABB_encloses:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **encloses** **(** :ref:`AABB<class_aabb>` with **)**

Returns ``true`` if this ``AABB`` completely encloses another one.

.. _class_AABB_expand:

- :ref:`AABB<class_aabb>` **expand** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` to_point **)**

Returns this ``AABB`` expanded to include a given point.

.. _class_AABB_get_area:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_area** **(** **)**

Gets the area of the ``AABB``.

.. _class_AABB_get_endpoint:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **get_endpoint** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` idx **)**

Gets the position of the 8 endpoints of the ``AABB`` in space.

.. _class_AABB_get_longest_axis:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **get_longest_axis** **(** **)**

Returns the normalized longest axis of the ``AABB``.

.. _class_AABB_get_longest_axis_index:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_longest_axis_index** **(** **)**

Returns the index of the longest axis of the ``AABB`` (according to :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>`::AXIS\* enum).

.. _class_AABB_get_longest_axis_size:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_longest_axis_size** **(** **)**

Returns the scalar length of the longest axis of the ``AABB``.

.. _class_AABB_get_shortest_axis:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **get_shortest_axis** **(** **)**

Returns the normalized shortest axis of the ``AABB``.

.. _class_AABB_get_shortest_axis_index:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_shortest_axis_index** **(** **)**

Returns the index of the shortest axis of the ``AABB`` (according to :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>`::AXIS\* enum).

.. _class_AABB_get_shortest_axis_size:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_shortest_axis_size** **(** **)**

Returns the scalar length of the shortest axis of the ``AABB``.

.. _class_AABB_get_support:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **get_support** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` dir **)**

Returns a copy of the ``AABB`` grown a given amount of units towards all the sides.

.. _class_AABB_has_no_area:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **has_no_area** **(** **)**

Returns ``true`` if the ``AABB`` is flat or empty.

.. _class_AABB_has_no_surface:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **has_no_surface** **(** **)**

Returns ``true`` if the ``AABB`` is empty.

.. _class_AABB_has_point:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **has_point** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` point **)**

Returns ``true`` if the ``AABB`` contains a point.

.. _class_AABB_intersection:

- :ref:`AABB<class_aabb>` **intersection** **(** :ref:`AABB<class_aabb>` with **)**

Returns the intersection between two ``AABB``. An empty AABB (size 0,0,0) is returned on failure.

.. _class_AABB_intersects_segment:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **intersects_segment** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` from, :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` to **)**

Returns ``true`` if the ``AABB`` intersects the line segment between ``from`` and ``to``.

.. _class_AABB_merge:

- :ref:`AABB<class_aabb>` **merge** **(** :ref:`AABB<class_aabb>` with **)**

Returns a larger AABB that contains this AABB and ``with``.
