AABB
====

A 3D axis-aligned bounding box.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

The **AABB** built-in :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` type represents an axis-aligned bounding box in a 3D space. It is defined by its :ref:`position<class_AABB_property_position>` and :ref:`size<class_AABB_property_size>`, which are :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>`. It is frequently used for fast overlap tests (see :ref:`intersects<class_AABB_method_intersects>`). Although **AABB** itself is axis-aligned, it can be combined with :ref:`Transform3D<class_Transform3D>` to represent a rotated or skewed bounding box.

It uses floating-point coordinates. The 2D counterpart to **AABB** is :ref:`Rect2<class_Rect2>`. There is no version of **AABB** that uses integer coordinates.

\ **Note:** Negative values for :ref:`size<class_AABB_property_size>` are not supported. With negative size, most **AABB** methods do not work correctly. Use :ref:`abs<class_AABB_method_abs>` to get an equivalent **AABB** with a non-negative size.

\ **Note:** In a boolean context, a **AABB** evaluates to ``false`` if both :ref:`position<class_AABB_property_position>` and :ref:`size<class_AABB_property_size>` are zero (equal to :ref:`Vector3.ZERO<class_Vector3_constant_ZERO>`). Otherwise, it always evaluates to ``true``.

.. note::

	There are notable differences when using this API with C#. See :ref:`doc_c_sharp_differences` for more information.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_AABB_property_end:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` **end** = ``Vector3(0, 0, 0)``

The ending point. This is usually the corner on the top-right and forward of the bounding box, and is equivalent to ``position + size``. Setting this point affects the :ref:`size<class_AABB_property_size>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AABB_property_position:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` **position** = ``Vector3(0, 0, 0)``

The origin point. This is usually the corner on the bottom-left and back of the bounding box.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AABB_property_size:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` **size** = ``Vector3(0, 0, 0)``

The bounding box's width, height, and depth starting from :ref:`position<class_AABB_property_position>`. Setting this value also affects the :ref:`end<class_AABB_property_end>` point.

\ **Note:** It's recommended setting the width, height, and depth to non-negative values. This is because most methods in Godot assume that the :ref:`position<class_AABB_property_position>` is the bottom-left-back corner, and the :ref:`end<class_AABB_property_end>` is the top-right-forward corner. To get an equivalent bounding box with non-negative size, use :ref:`abs<class_AABB_method_abs>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-descriptions-group

Constructor Descriptions
------------------------

.. _class_AABB_constructor_AABB:

.. rst-class:: classref-constructor

:ref:`AABB<class_AABB>` **AABB** **(** **)**

Constructs an **AABB** with its :ref:`position<class_AABB_property_position>` and :ref:`size<class_AABB_property_size>` set to :ref:`Vector3.ZERO<class_Vector3_constant_ZERO>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. rst-class:: classref-constructor

:ref:`AABB<class_AABB>` **AABB** **(** :ref:`AABB<class_AABB>` from **)**

Constructs an **AABB** as a copy of the given **AABB**.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. rst-class:: classref-constructor

:ref:`AABB<class_AABB>` **AABB** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` position, :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` size **)**

Constructs an **AABB** by ``position`` and ``size``.

.. rst-class:: classref-section-separator

.. rst-class:: classref-descriptions-group

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_AABB_method_abs:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`AABB<class_AABB>` **abs** **(** **)** |const|

Returns an **AABB** equivalent to this bounding box, with its width, height, and depth modified to be non-negative values.


.. tabs::

 .. code-tab:: gdscript

    var box = AABB(Vector3(5, 0, 5), Vector3(-20, -10, -5))
    var absolute = box.abs()
    print(absolute.position) # Prints (-15, -10, 0)
    print(absolute.size)     # Prints (20, 10, 5)

 .. code-tab:: csharp

    var box = new Aabb(new Vector3(5, 0, 5), new Vector3(-20, -10, -5));
    var absolute = box.Abs();
    GD.Print(absolute.Position); // Prints (-15, -10, 0)
    GD.Print(absolute.Size);     // Prints (20, 10, 5)



\ **Note:** It's recommended to use this method when :ref:`size<class_AABB_property_size>` is negative, as most other methods in Godot assume that the :ref:`size<class_AABB_property_size>`'s components are greater than ``0``.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AABB_method_encloses:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **encloses** **(** :ref:`AABB<class_AABB>` with **)** |const|

Returns ``true`` if this bounding box *completely* encloses the ``with`` box. The edges of both boxes are included.


.. tabs::

 .. code-tab:: gdscript

    var a = AABB(Vector3(0, 0, 0), Vector3(4, 4, 4))

.. _class_AABB_method_get_center:

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **has_point** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` point **)** |const|

Returns ``true`` if the bounding box contains the given ``point``. By convention, points exactly on the right, top, and front sides are **not** included.

\ **Note:** This method is not reliable for **AABB** with a *negative* :ref:`size<class_AABB_property_size>`. Use :ref:`abs<class_AABB_method_abs>` first to get a valid bounding box.

Operator Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_AABB_operator_neq_AABB:

.. rst-class:: classref-operator

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **operator !=** **(** :ref:`AABB<class_AABB>` right **)**

Returns ``true`` if the :ref:`position<class_AABB_property_position>` or :ref:`size<class_AABB_property_size>` of both bounding boxes are not equal.

\ **Note:** Due to floating-point precision errors, consider using :ref:`is_equal_approx<class_AABB_method_is_equal_approx>` instead, which is more reliable.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AABB_operator_mul_Transform3D:

.. rst-class:: classref-operator

:ref:`AABB<class_AABB>` **operator *** **(** :ref:`Transform3D<class_Transform3D>` right **)**

Inversely transforms (multiplies) the **AABB** by the given :ref:`Transform3D<class_Transform3D>` transformation matrix, under the assumption that the transformation basis is orthonormal (i.e. rotation/reflection is fine, scaling/skew is not).

\ ``aabb * transform`` is equivalent to ``transform.inverse() * aabb``. See :ref:`Transform3D.inverse<class_Transform3D_method_inverse>`.

For transforming by inverse of an affine transformation (e.g. with scaling) ``transform.affine_inverse() * aabb`` can be used instead. See :ref:`Transform3D.affine_inverse<class_Transform3D_method_affine_inverse>`.

----

.. _class_AABB_operator_eq_AABB:

.. rst-class:: classref-operator

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **operator ==** **(** :ref:`AABB<class_AABB>` right **)**

Returns ``true`` if both :ref:`position<class_AABB_property_position>` and :ref:`size<class_AABB_property_size>` of the bounding boxes are exactly equal, respectively.

\ **Note:** Due to floating-point precision errors, consider using :ref:`is_equal_approx<class_AABB_method_is_equal_approx>` instead, which is more reliable.
