getBoundingBox not in local space about xml3d.js HOT 4 CLOSED

My workaround:

    function getLocalBBox(node)
    {
        if(!node.getBoundingBox)
            return new window.XML3DBox();
        var bbox = node.getBoundingBox();

        if(node.parentNode.getWorldMatrix)
        {
            var parentGlobMat = node.parentNode.getWorldMatrix();
            var invParentGlobMat = parentGlobMat.inverse();
            bbox.transform(invParentGlobMat);
        }

        return bbox;
    };

from xml3d.js.

Had to rewrite the function a bit, as XML3DBox has no method transform (only the XML3D.math.bbox object has such a method), but other than that it works. Thank you!

Cool...oh, right. The xml3d-toolkit library has, probably it's about time to put it on GitHub, too.

So the old getBoundingBox function was pretty confusing, it would return boxes in world space for group nodes and local space for mesh nodes. For consistency this function has been split up into getLocalBoundingBox and getWorldBoundingBox, similar to the get*Matrix functions. Both these functions are available on xml3d, group, mesh and model nodes.

getBoundingBox is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version, until then it follows the old (confusing) behavior of returning world space boxes on group nodes and local space boxes on mesh or model nodes.
