BoundingBox
compute bounding boxes
Purpose
The bounding box can be used as a rough guide to the interesting areas of the dat set. The box can also provide visual clues that help with orientation in 3D space. Showing bounding boxes for individual blocks will allow you to assess the partitioning of your data. The numerical values can be used to craft input for modules requiring coordinates as parameter input.
Ports
The BoundingBox module takes its geometry input from grid_in and finds global minimum and maximum
values for its coordinates. The result of this process can be seen in its parameter window as the
values of the min and max parameters. The location of the extremal values are recorded in its
other output parameters. It also provides a tight axis-aligned cuboid around the domain of the data
at the grid_out output.
Parameters
name |
description |
type |
|---|---|---|
per_block |
create bounding box for each block individually |
Int |
min |
output parameter: minimum |
Vector |
max |
output parameter: maximum |
Vector |
min_block |
output parameter: block numbers containing minimum (per component) |
IntVector |
max_block |
output parameter: block numbers containing maximum (per component) |
IntVector |
min_index |
output parameter: indices of minimum (per component) |
IntVector |
max_index |
output parameter: indices of maximum (per component) |
IntVector |
By enabling per_block, it creates an enclosing cuboid for each input
block individually instead of for all blocks globally.
