\title{
Convert Data to Three-Dimensional Box
}
\description{
Interprets data as the dimensions of a three-dimensional box.
}
\usage{
as.box3(...)
}
\arguments{
\item{\dots}{
Data that can be interpreted as giving the dimensions of a
three-dimensional box. See Details.
}
}
\details{
This function converts data in various formats to
an object of class \code{"box3"} representing a three-dimensional
box (see \code{\link{box3}}). The arguments \code{\dots} may be
\itemize{
\item an object of class \code{"box3"}
\item arguments acceptable to \code{box3}
\item a numeric vector of length 6, interpreted as
\code{c(xrange[1],xrange[2],yrange[1],yrange[2],zrange[1],zrange[2])}
\item an object of class \code{"pp3"} representing a
three-dimensional point pattern contained in a box.
}
}
\value{
Object of class \code{"box3"}.
