# From this diagram, you can tell that the width is the diagonal of the square.
# We know as a corollary of Pythagoras's theorem that the diagonal of a square
# of side s is s * √2
define @width s * √2

# From this diagram, you can tell that the depth is the diagonal of the cube.
# From Pythagoras's theorem we know that the diagonal of a cube of side s is
# √(((√2)^2)s^2 + s^2) = s * √3
define @depth s * √3
# If we consider the x = 0 section of the image above, we get the following:
# Figure 3:

# |<----height----->|
# We know that:
# a^2 + b^2 = (s * √2)^2
# a^2 + c^2 = s
# b + c = s * √3
# From that, we get that a = s * √(2/3), b = (2*s)/(√3), c = s/(√3)
# And we know that height = 2 * a
define @half_height s * √(2/3)
# Cube bounding box position:
# Considering that the cube's center is the origin, we just need to negate and
# half the bounding box sizes to get the minimum boundaries for each variable.
-@width / 2 < x < @width / 2
-@half_height < y < @half_height
-@depth / 2 < z < @depth / 2
# The cube is the intersection of 6 semi-spaces.
# Each semi-space is defined by an inequality based on the plane that defines
# its boundary.
# The plane equations are achieved through a point belonging to the plane, as
# well as a vector normal to the plane.
# The easiest plane to construct is the one that is invariant in the x
# dimension, that is, parallel to the x axis.
# For ease of calculation, the point used is the point (0,0,@half_height).
# The vector used will have the coordinates (0,-a,c)
# This means the plane equation starts out as:
# -a*y + c*(z-((s * √3)/2)) <= 0
# Which can be simplified to:
# -a*y + c*z <= (s^2)/2
# Given that a and c are both expressed as functions of s, we can factor out
# the s and get the following:
# y * (-√(2/3)) + z * √(1/3) <= s / 2
# By using the same point and rotating the vector by +-120 degrees or +-2*pi/3
# radians, we get the following two plane inequalities.
# (-(√2)/2) * x + y * √(1/6) + z * √(1/3) <= s / 2
# ((√2)/2) * x + y * √(1/6) + z * √(1/3) <= s / 2
# By replacing the point with (0,0,-@half_height) and scaling each of the
# three vectors by (-1), we get the remaining three plane inequalities.
y * (-√(2/3)) + z * √(1/3) <= s / 2
(-(√2)/2) * x + y * √(1/6) + z * √(1/3) <= s / 2
((√2)/2) * x + y * √(1/6) + z * √(1/3) <= s / 2
y * √(2/3) - z * √(1/3) <= s / 2
(-(√2)/2) * x - y * √(1/6) - z * √(1/3) <= s / 2
((√2)/2) * x - y * √(1/6) - z * √(1/3) <= s / 2
