None SetBoundingBox (  tuple_of_floats_x_y_z  vMin, tuple_of_floats_x_y_z  vMax )

Sets the bounding box of the python object. Parameters: vMin  is the min corner of the bounding box. vMax  is the max corner of the bounding box.

None SetDisplayInViews (  boolean  bDisplayInViews  )

Enables/Disables the python object box preview in views. Parameters: bDisplayInViews  if true, the python object will be displayed in views as a box, if false, nothing will be visible in views.

boolean SetIntersectionCallback (  function  fptrPythonIntersectionCallback = None  )

Sets a callback method that will be called each time a python object is tested for an intersection with an incoming ray. Parameters: fptrPythonIntersectionCallback  the python method that will be called each time an intersection test is performed on a python object. Remarks: This callback can be used to create new objects by redefining the intersection routine. The callback will be called each time Vue needs to know if a ray intersects a python object and, if it is the case, to compute impact normal, position and distance. Callback description: The Python callback should accept 6 floats and 2 ints, and return a tuple of 7 floats (impact distance, position and normal vectors) if an intersection occured, else nothing. The callback should look like this: (f, f, f, f, f, f, f) fptrPythonIntersectionCallback(x_pos, y_pos, z_pos, x_dir, y_dir, z_dir, ray_level, shadow_ray) when an intersection occurs, () fptrPythonIntersectionCallback(x_pos, y_pos, z_pos, x_dir, y_dir, z_dir, ray_level, shadow_ray) when there is no intersection. where: (x_pos, y_pos, z_pos) is the incoming ray start point. (x_dir, y_dir, z_dir) is the incoming ray direction vector. ray_level is the ray depth value. shadow_ray is a flag which is true (1) when incoming ray is a shadow ray. Remarks: To remove the callback, simply call this method with no parameter. Returns: True if the callback was succesfully set (or removed), false otherwise. See also: SetVolumetricDensityCallback, SetImpactaspectCallback.
