Purpose
Returns a buffer containing six double precision values representing the xmin, ymin, zmin, xmax, ymax, and zmax coordinates that define an MBB (minimum bounding box) type.
Syntax
void FNC_MBBGetValue(GEO_HANDLE mbbHandle, double * mbbBuffer, int * mbbSize )
- GEO_HANDLE mbbHandle
- A handle to an MBB type that is defined to be an input parameter to an external routine.
- double* mbbBuffer
- A pointer to a buffer that will hold the six double precision values that define the MBB.
- int* mbbSize
- Size in bytes of the value returned in the mbbBuffer buffer.
Usage Notes
FNC_MBBGetValue retrieves the xmin, ymin, zmin, xmax, ymax, and zmax values of an MBB type. The values are returned in the mbbBuffer as six double precision values. The caller of the function needs to allocate sufficient memory for the mbbBuffer buffer to hold six double precision values.
Example: Using FNC calls to get an MBB type value
The following function takes an MBB type parameter and returns an array of six double precision values representing the xmin, ymin, zmin, xmax, ymax, and zmax values that define the MBB.
