[vtkusers] How to use vtkOBBTree?

[shiyuan]

Hi,AllI want to compute Oriented Bounding Box of a STL model(a kind of polygonal model) to get three lengths of the OBB and I find vtkOBBTree has a member function : void vtkOBBTree::ComputeOBB( vtkPoints * pts, double corner[3], double max[3], double mid[3], double min[3], double size[3] ) I guess this function can help me. From VTK Documentation,I got the following description: Compute an OBB from the list of points given. Return the corner point and the three axes defining the orientation of the OBB. Also return a sorted list of relative "sizes" of axes for comparison purposes.  After wrote a test program, I found the max[3],mid[3] and min[3] specify three vectors which is orthogonal by ones and twos and they can form a coordinate system. But I don't know the meaning of arguments "corner[3]" and "size[3]" above exactly.If argument "corner[3]" specify the "minimum" point of the OBB,but the "corner[3]" value is less than "minimum" point of AABB when I test the same model. Could someone please give me some help? I want to know:1.what are the arguments mean in Function ComputeOBB()?2.Is there any other methods to compute OBB of a polygonal model? I just need the three lengths of the OBB. Thanks in advance.  Dest wishes,SHIYuan
