Details

This function computes the volume of an object such as a three-dimensional box.

The function volume is generic, with methods for the classes "box3" (three-dimensional boxes) and "boxx" (multi-dimensional boxes).

There is also a method for the class "owin" (two-dimensional windows), which is identical to area.owin, and a method for the class "linnet" of linear networks, which returns the length of the network.
