okay bestie sit DOWN, we're reading SoComputeBoundingBox(3) from the Coin manual and honestly it's giving "tiny class, gigantic inheritance tree" 💀 this page comes in 2 parts, so hydrate and stay with me 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

SoComputeBoundingBox — the class that is used to calculate a bounding box. that's the whole assignment. no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Inventor/engines/SoComputeBoundingBox.h>

It inherits SoEngine 🧚 (iykyk, engines are the little scene-graph helpers that compute stuff for you).

💅 Detailed Description 💅

so, the SoComputeBoundingBox class is used to calculate a bounding box. that's the headline, bestie 📦

and here's the tea: this engine is literally just a wrapper around the SoGetBoundingBoxAction 🫶 — it exists so you have a convenient way of having some data in the scene graph automatically update itself based on the bounding box of some other part of the scene. automatic. iconic. main character energy 🔥

🌷 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🌷

SoComputeBoundingBox::SoComputeBoundingBox (void )

Default constructor 🎀 it sets up the internal SoGetBoundingBoxAction instance for you. (not me being handed a whole action object on day one 😭)

SoComputeBoundingBox::~SoComputeBoundingBox (void ) — [protected], [virtual]

Destructor 💀 it deallocates the SoGetBoundingBoxAction instance. clean up after yourself, periodt.

✨ Member Function Documentation ✨

SoType SoComputeBoundingBox::getClassTypeId (void ) — [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. ⭐

SoType SoComputeBoundingBox::getTypeId (void ) const — [virtual]

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase 🔍 this is what's used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting, so the code can figure out what it's actually holding.

Implements SoBase.

const SoFieldData ** SoComputeBoundingBox::getInputDataPtr (void ) — [static], [protected]

Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about inputs in this engine 🫶

const SoEngineOutputData ** SoComputeBoundingBox::getOutputDataPtr (void ) — [static], [protected]

Returns the SoEngineOutputData class which holds information about the outputs in this engine ✨

const SoFieldData * SoComputeBoundingBox::getFieldData (void ) const — [virtual]

Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about inputs in this engine 📥

Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.

const SoEngineOutputData * SoComputeBoundingBox::getOutputData (void ) const — [virtual]

Returns the SoEngineOutputData class which holds information about the outputs in this engine 📤

Implements SoEngine.

void * SoComputeBoundingBox::createInstance (void ) — [static]

Creates a new instance of the class type corresponding to the SoType object 🐣 fresh out the box.

void SoComputeBoundingBox::setViewportRegion (const SbViewportRegion & vpr)

Set the viewport region for the SoGetBoundingBoxAction instance we're using for calculating bounding boxes 🖥️

default setting alert: it uses an SbViewportRegion with only default values unless you tell it otherwise 💅

const SbViewportRegion & SoComputeBoundingBox::getViewportRegion (void ) const

Returns the viewport region used by the internal SoGetBoundingBoxAction instance 👀

🎀 Member Data Documentation 🎀

SoSFNode SoComputeBoundingBox::node

If this input field is set and SoComputeBoundingBox::path is NULL, the resultant bounding box will be the box encompassing the scene graph rooted at this node pointer 🌳

SoSFPath SoComputeBoundingBox::path

If this input field is not NULL, the bounding box values of the given path will be set on the outputs 🛤️

SoEngineOutput SoComputeBoundingBox::min

(SoSFVec3f) corner coordinates of the bounding box 📐

SoEngineOutput SoComputeBoundingBox::max

(SoSFVec3f) corner coordinates of the bounding box 📐

SoEngineOutput SoComputeBoundingBox::boxCenter

(SoSFVec3f) geometric center point of the bounding box 🎯

SoEngineOutput SoComputeBoundingBox::objectCenter

(SoSFVec3f) object center point for the bounding box 🌸 see SoGetBoundingBoxAction::getCenter() for an explanation of how this can differ from the geometric center point of the bounding box — yes, they're different, and yes, that's on purpose 🫶

✨ AUTHOR ✨

So like… nobody wrote this page, bestie 💀 it literally spawned itself.

Generated automatically by Doxygen for Coin from the source code.

That's it. That's the whole author section. No mysterious genius, no 3am coffee-fueled hero — just Doxygen, the little doc-generator fairy 🧚 that read the Coin source code and went "okay I gotchu" and made this page for you. Which is honestly iconic of it 💅

And that's a wrap on SoComputeBoundingBox(3), fr fr 🎀 You made it to the very end, which means you read all of it — the constructors, the destructors, the member functions, the data members, every last one. main character energy 🌈👑

Version 4.0.10 ✨ and dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00 — so if you're reading this from the future, hi, hope your bounding box is thriving 🦋

Go forth and compute some boxes, bestie. You got this 💖🌸
