BoundingBox (eBus 7.4.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- net.sf.eBus.messages.EMessageObject
- - net.sf.eBus.messages.EField
  - - net.sf.eBusx.geo.BoundingBox

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public final class BoundingBox
extends EField
```
A bounding box (usually shortened to bbox) is an area defined by two longitudes and two latitudes, where:
- Latitude is a decimal number between -90.0 and 90.0.
- Longitude is a decimal number between -180.0 and 180.0.
Bounding box contains the minimum and maximum latitude and longitude values which define the four box corners.
A bounding box is not an Open Street Map element and therefore has no associated unique identifier.

- Method Detail
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Returns text containing the four bounding box positions.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    bounding box textual representation.
  - builder
```
public static BoundingBox.Builder builder()
```
    Returns a new bounding box builder instance. It is recommended that a new builder instance be used to create a new bounding box and that builders should not be re-used.
    
    Returns:
    
    bounding box builder instance.
