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.
