Detailed Description
Bounding box creating processor.This class iterates over all atoms of a given molecular object and determines the lowest and the highest coordinates occuring. It returns two coordinates ( getLower , getUpper ) describing the smallest cuboid (whose sides are parallel to the planes defined by the corrdinate axes) enclosing all atoms of the molecular object.
- This processor is useful to determine the extent of a molecular object if you want to define a THashGrid or alike objects.
- The coordinates returned by getLower and getUpper are only valid, if the processor has been applied to a molecular object containing atoms.
