//: Represents a cartesian 3D box
//  A 3d box with sides aligned with \a x, \a y and \a z axes. Supports operations
//  required of a bounding box for geometric volume tests.
//
//  A box can be empty; this is what the default constructor creates, or what
//  is left after applying the empty() method.  Use the add() methods to enlarge
//  a box, and use the contains() methods to check for inclusion of a point or
//  an other box.
//
//  To make the convex union of two boxes, use box1.add(box2).
