Box Widget Help
The Box Widget consists of twelve cylinders connected in a box (3D
rectangle) arrangement where the cylinders lie on the edges of the
box. In the middle of each face of the box there is a sphere. There
is a resize cylinder extending from each sphere. The primary use of
the Box Widget is to select a subvolume of the workspace for further
manipulation (e.g. volume rendering, isosurfaces, streamlines, FEM
adaption) where the faces of the widget act as orthogonal clipping
planes.
If the user drags a sphere, the widget is rotated about its center
without changing the position of the center. If a resize handle is
dragged, the appropriate face extends without changing its
orientation. If a cylinder is dragged, the entire widget moves
without changing its orientation.
