Detailed Description

A closed cone along the Z axis centered on the origin.

A quadric cone technically defines two opposing cones that touch at a single vanishing point, but this cone is required to be truncated so that the vanishing point is on our outside the cone.

The midpoint along the Z axis of the cone is the origin. A cone is not allowed to have equal radii: for that, use a cylinder. However, it may have a single radius of zero, which puts the vanishing point on one end of the cone.

This intersect region, along with the Cylinder, is a base component of the G4Polycone (PCON).

Build surfaces.

The inner bounding box of a cone is determined with the following procedure:

• Represent a radial slice of the cone as a right triangle with base b (aka the higher radius) and height h (translated vanishing point)
• An interior bounding box (along the xy diagonal cut!) will satisfy r = b - tangent * z
• Maximize the area of that box to obtain r = b / 2, i.e. z = h / 2
• Truncate z so that it's not outside of the half-height
• Project that radial slice onto the xz plane by multiplying 1/sqrt(2)

Implements celeritas::orangeinp::IntersectRegionInterface.
