Unigine::BoundSphere Class

Header:

#include <UnigineBounds.h>

This class serves to construct the bounding sphere in single precision coordinates.

Notice

Instances of this class are deleted automatically when it is necessary.

In case of double precision coordinates, the bounding sphere should be constructed by using the WorldBoundSphere class. It includes the same functions as the BoundSphere class, but its functions deal with the double precision coordinates.

NoticeTo support both single and double precision builds, you can use the WorldBoundSphere class only. The engine will automatically substitute it with the BoundSphere if it is required.
