  - getDimensions
```
int getDimensions()
```
    Returns:
    
    the number of dimensions this bounding box has
  - getMin
```
double getMin(int axis)
```
    Get the minimum value for the given axis
    
    Parameters:
    
    axis - the axis to use
    
    Returns:
    
    the min value
  - getMax
```
double getMax(int axis)
```
    Get the maximum value for the given axis
    
    Parameters:
    
    axis - the axis to use
    
    Returns:
    
    the x max value
  - union
```
MBR union(MBR mbr)
```
    Return a new MBR that is the union of this mbr and the other
    
    Parameters:
    
    mbr - the MBR to create a union with
    
    Returns:
    
    the new MBR
  - intersects
```
boolean intersects(MBR other)
```
    Check if the other MBR intersects this one
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - the MBR to check against
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the given MBR intersects with this MBR
  - intersects
```
<T> boolean intersects(T t,
                       MBRConverter<T> converter)
```
    Check if this MBR intersects the rectangle given by the object and the MBRConverter.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the object type
    
    Parameters:
    
    t - a rectangular object
    
    converter - the MBRConverter
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the given MBR intersects with the given object
