Function Documentation

HC_BOOLEAN Compute_Circumsphere	(	const char *	segment,
		HC_POINT *	center,
		float *	radius
	)

Returns points defining a sphere that circumscribes the geometry within a segment.

Parameters:

	segment	- Segment name to use for the calculation.
	center	- The center position of a sphere that encompasses the geometry contained within the segment. Returned to user. Passed by reference in all languages.
	radius	- The radius length of the encompassing sphere. Returned to user. Passed by reference in all languages.

The volume for Compute_Circumsphere() is a sphere instead of a cuboid. For more information refer to the discussion for Compute_Circumcuboid() .

HC_BOOLEAN Compute_Circumsphere_By_Key	(	HC_KEY	key,
		HC_POINT *	center,
		float *	radius
	)

Similar to Compute_Circumsphere(), but operates on an object referenced by an HC_KEY.

Parameters:

	key	- Key of the segment or geometry to be used for the calcula tion.
	center	- The center position of a sphere that encompasses the geometry contained within the segment. Returned to user. Passed by reference in all languages.
	radius	- The radius length of the encompassing sphere. Returned to user. Passed by reference in all languages.
