public abstract class Hexahedron
extends Polyhedron

A polyhedron with six faces, all of which are four-sided polygons. Other six-face polyhedra (e.g., trigonal bipyrimid) cannot be derived from this class. This polytope has 12 edges and 8 vertices.

Constructor Detail

Hexahedron

public Hexahedron(Space embeddedSpace)

Constructs a hexahedron to reside in the given space, which determines the type of vertices it will have (e.g. based on Vector3D). Faces are formed from the following sets of vertices (referring to the index of the vertices array): (0,1,2,3), (1,3,7,5), (4,5,7,6), (0,4,6,2), (2,3,7,6), and (0,1,5,4)
