  - ### BoundingBox

    public BoundingBox(Coord c, double rLat, double rLng)

    Creates a bounding box around a coordinate with a given radius.

    ###### Parameters

    - `c`: The coordinate at the center of the bounding box.

    - `rLat`: The latitude radius of the box (in degrees).

    - `rLng`: The longitude radius of the box (in degrees).

  - ### BoundingBox

    public BoundingBox(Coord southWest, Coord northEast)

    Constructor with 2 coordinates for south west and north east

    ###### Parameters

    - `southWest`: coordinate

    ###### Parameters

    - `coords`: given coordinates to create a wrapping bounding box.

    ###### Returns

    a bounding box that contains all of the coordinates

  - ### create

    public static BoundingBox create(Vector coords)

    /** create a smallest bounding box that contains all of the given coordinates

    ###### Parameters
