Silvere,

I like this book for those sorts of problems:
http://cs.smith.edu/~orourke/books/compgeom.html

It's mathematical but very thorough.

Sincerely,

Daniel Selman

Subject: extending bounds class (updated)


Hi,


No reply on my last e-mail on this topic. Sort of weird since I
believe this kind of extension might be interesting many people. Are
all mathematicians on vacation ?

To sun engineers : could this be added to the 1.3 spec ?



I've written a simple sub class for bounding sphere, bounding box and
bounding polytope to provide union, subtraction and volume features.

I don't know however enough maths to compute the volume and
subtraction for polytope (that is using 6 clipping planes).

Can anybody provide me the equations ? Or a pointer to the place I
can find these ?


I'll do the coding and as a reward provide the code.


Thanks.
