Description:
The Box class
implements a
Region which represents a box with sides parallel to the axes of a
Frame (i.e. an area
which encloses a given range of values on each axis). A Box is similar to an
Interval, the only real
difference being that the Interval class allows some axis limits to be unspecified. Note, a Box will only
look like a box if the Frame geometry is approximately flat. For instance, a Box centred close to a pole
in a
SkyFrame will look more like a fan than a box (the
Polygon class can be used to create
a box-like region close to a pole).
Constructor Function
Inheritance

Box class inherits from the Region class.
Attributes
The Box class does not define any
new attributes beyond those which are applicable to all Regions.
Functions
The Box
class does not define any new routines beyond those which are applicable to all Regions.
