Functions

GetRandomPoint

Gets a random point within this box.

Arguments:

• None.

Return value:

The random point within the box.

Unflip

Arguments:

• The coordinate describing the x value to test for insideness.

Return value:

Inside the box or not in the x axis.

WithinBoxY

Tells whether an y coordinate is within the Box's y-range or not.

Arguments:

• The coordinate describing the y value to test for insideness.

Return value:

The constrained value.

GetWithinBoxY

Returns an X value constrained inside the Box and returns it.

Arguments:

• The X value to constrain inside the Box.

Return value:

The constrained value.

GetWithinBox

Returns a copy of a point constrained inside this box.

Arguments:
