Detailed Description
       The SbSphere class is a representation of a sphere.

       This class is used within many other classes in Coin. It contains the
       data necessary to represent a sphere (a 3D point and a radius).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
   SbSphere::SbSphere (void )
       The default constructor does nothing. The center point and the radius
       will be uninitialized.

   SbSphere::SbSphere (const SbVec3f & centerarg, const float radiusarg)
       Construct an SbSphere instance with the given center point and radius.

Member Function Documentation
   void SbSphere::setValue (const SbVec3f & centerarg, const float radiusarg)
       Set the sphere's center point and radius.


       See also
           getCenter(), getRadius().

   void SbSphere::setCenter (const SbVec3f & centerarg)
       Set the sphere's center point.


       See also
           setValue(), setRadius() and getCenter().

   void SbSphere::setRadius (const float radiusarg)
       Set the sphere's radius.


       See also
           setValue(), setCenter() and getRadius().

   const SbVec3f & SbSphere::getCenter (void ) const
       Returns an SbVec3f with the sphere's center point.


       See also
           setCenter(), getRadius().

   float SbSphere::getRadius (void ) const
       Returns the sphere's radius.


       See also
           setRadius(), getCenter().

   void SbSphere::circumscribe (const SbBox3f & box)
       Make the sphere exactly contain box, i.e. the sphere center point will
       be the same as that of the box, and the radius will be the distance
       from the box center point to any of the corners.

   SbBool SbSphere::intersect (const SbLine & l, SbVec3f & intersection) const
       Finds the intersection enter point for the given line l on the sphere.


       If the line does not intersect the sphere, FALSE is returned.

   SbBool SbSphere::intersect (const SbLine & l, SbVec3f & enter, SbVec3f &
       exit) const
       Find the intersection points of the ray l on the sphere and return
       these in enter and exit. If the ray just 'grazes' the sphere, the enter
       and exit points have equal values.


       If the ray does not intersect the sphere, FALSE is returned, otherwise
       we will return TRUE.

   SbBool SbSphere::pointInside (const SbVec3f & p) const
       Returns TRUE of the given point p lies within the sphere.

   void SbSphere::print (FILE * fp) const
       Dump the state of this object to the fp file stream. Only works in
       debug version of library, method does nothing in an optimized build.
