FBox

Synopsis

create a box-shaped mesh scaled to an input field

Input Port

ui_parent

user interface parent object

Parameters

x-dimension	slider	x dimension of box
y-dimension	slider	y dimension of box
z-dimension	slider	z dimension of box
Transformation Editor	XformEditor	transform and scale box in space

Output Port

out_fld	mesh representing the box
out_obj	output renderable object

Description

FBox creates a 3D wireframe Box_Mesh. The box's location corresponds to the extents of the input field. You can control the size of the box, its dimensionality, and its orientation in space. The box is useful as a probe object--the box's mesh volume will serve as the sample points within a larger field volume.

Input

ui_parent

A port mean to be connected to a user interface object that will contain the macro's widgets. By default, it is connected to the default user interface object in the application in which the macro is instanced. (This default connection is not drawn.)

Parameters

x-dimension
y-dimension
z-dimension

Integer sliders that control the size of the box. The default is 8. The range is 2 to 100.

Transformation Editor

An XformEditor that controls the position, orientation, and scale of the box in space. The transformation defined here is added to the renderable out_obj.

Output Port

out_fld

fieldThe output consists of a mesh whose coordinates are the eight corners of the box.

out_obj

This is a renderable version of the output field.
