I am trying to calculate the max radius a circle can be and have it still
fit in a bounding box.

The difficult part of the question is that the circle is really a 3D object
ie it can be rotate about the x or y axis.

Ie imagine  a plain circle drawn on the screen, now imagine your could
"push" the top of it down till its was edge on, then the max radius would be
half the width of the box. If pushed in on the left till it was edge on it
woulde be half the height of the box.

But how about all the other angles in between.

So you have width/height of box, and x rotation and a y rotation, so what is
the max radius..

Thanks 
Rob
