Detailed Description

Box represents a rectangle in spherical coordinate space that contains its boundary.

A box can be empty or full (equal to the entire unit sphere), and may contain just a single point. Besides the usual rectangular regions, a box can also represent polar caps or annuli (i.e. when the box spans all longitudes).

For any instance b of this class, the following properties hold:

b.isEmpty() == b.getLat().isEmpty()
b.getLat().isEmpty() == b.getLon().isEmpty()
Box::allLatitudes().contains(b.getLat())
Box::allLongitudes().contains(b.getLon())

◆ dilateBy() [2/2]

Box & lsst::sphgeom::Box::dilateBy	(	Angle	w,
		Angle	h
	)

dilateBy morphologically dilates or erodes the longitude interval of this box by w, and the latitude interval of this box by h.

If w is positive, the longitude interval is dilated by [-w,w]. If w is zero, the corresponding interval is not modified, and if it is negative, the longitude interval is eroded by [w,-w]. The action of h on the latitude interval is analogous.

If this box is empty or full, there is no effect. Furthermore, a box containing the north or south pole is not considered to have a latitude boundary there, so that eroding it will not necessarily remove the pole.

If the desired outcome is the bounding box of points within some angular separation r of this box, then dilateBy(r) must be called, not dilateBy(r, r).

◆ relate() [3/6]

Relationship lsst::sphgeom::Box::relate ( ConvexPolygon const & ) const

overridevirtual

relate computes the spatial relationships between this region A and another region B. The return value S is a bitset with the following properties:

Bit S & DISJOINT is set only if A and B do not have any points in common.
Bit S & CONTAINS is set only if A contains all points in B.
Bit S & WITHIN is set only if B contains all points in A.

Said another way: if the CONTAINS, WITHIN or DISJOINT bit is set, then the corresponding spatial relationship between the two regions holds conclusively. If it is not set, the relationship may or may not hold.

These semantics allow for conservative relationship computations. In particular, a Region may choose to implement relate by replacing itself and/or the argument with a simplified bounding region.
