class SbBox3f

The SbBox3f class is an abstraction for an axis aligned 3 dimensional box.

This box abstraction class is used by other entities in the Coin
library for data exchange and storage. It provides a representation of the defining corners of a box in 3D space, with the sides aligned with the 3 principal axes. "

class SbBox3d

The SbBox3d class is an abstraction for an axis aligned 3 dimensional box.

library for data exchange and storage. It provides a representation of the defining corners of a box in 3D space, with the sides aligned with the 3 principal axes. "

class SbClip

The SbClip class is a generic polygon clipper class.

It is used by first adding all vertices in the polygon, and then
clipping against any number of planes. If you need to supply additional information per vertex (e.g. texture coordinates), you should supply a callback in the constructor, and a pointer to your vertex structure in addVertex(). For every new vertex created, the callback is called with the line being clipped, including the pointers to your vertex
structures and the position of the new (clipped against some plane)
vertex. You should then create a new vertex structure, calculate your
data (e.g. a new texture coordinate) and return a pointer to this
structure. "

class SbColor

The SbColor class contains the red, green and blue components which make up a color value.

This class is used within other classes in Coin. It inherits the
SbVec3f class, interpreting the 3 component vector as a vector in the RGB cube where the red, green and blue components corresponds to x, y
and z respectively. "

represent a cylinder by an axis and a radius. The cylinder has no
length/height value, which means it is treated as of infinite length. "

usually associated with working with character strings, like memory
allocation and deallocation etc. "

class SbTesselator

The SbTesselator class is used to tessellate polygons into triangles.

SbTesselator is used within Coin to split polygons into triangles. It handles concave polygons, does Delaunay triangulation and avoids
generating self-intersecting triangles. "
