public class BoundingBox
extends java.lang.Object
```
Class for representing a bounding box of any component in the 3D space. Every GraphicComponent has a BoundingBox by default, but it has to be set. Edges of bounding boxes are always parallel to the coordinate axes.
For the sake of efficiency center and radius of the bounding box are not computed unless calling ready(), so that there is no unnecessary computation in case of setting many coordinates. Example of typical usage:
```
 BoundingBox bb = new BoundingBox( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);
 
```
```
 BoundingBox bb = new BoundingBox();
 for(int i=0; i<atomCount; i++) {
      bb.setWithCondition(atomx, atomy, atomz);
 }
 bb.ready();
 
```

  - getBoundingCenter
```
public float[] getBoundingCenter()
```
    Returns the center of the box as a vector.

    Returns:
    
    half length the diagonal of the box

```
public boolean contains(float x,
                        float y,
                        float z)
```
    Tells whether the given location is inside the box.
  - translate
```
public void translate(float[] v)
```
    A box can be translated in space. It is usually called by a LocationControl.
    
    Parameters:
    
    v - translation vector

```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Returns the minimum and maximum coordinates of the box.
