Although they are represented in a canonical form by only two vertices, namely the lexicographically smallest and largest vertex with respect to Cartesian coordinates, we provide functions for ``accessing'' the other vertices as well.
Iso-oriented cuboids and bounding boxes are quite similar. The difference however is that bounding boxes have always double coordinates, whereas the coordinate type of an iso-oriented cuboid is chosen by the user.
| |||
introduces an iso-oriented cuboid c with diagonal
opposite vertices and . Note that the object is
brought in the canonical form.

| |||
introduces an iso-oriented cuboid c whose
minimal coordinate is the one of left, the
maximal coordinate is the one of right, the
minimal coordinate is the one of bottom, the
maximal coordinate is the one of top, the
minimal coordinate is the one of far, the
maximal coordinate is the one of close.
