RegionMember

RegionMember[reg,{x,y,}]

gives True if the numeric point {x,y,} is a member of the constant region reg and False otherwise.

RegionMember[reg,{x,y,}]

gives conditions for the point {x,y,} to be a member of reg.

RegionMember[reg]

returns a RegionMemberFunction[] that can be applied repeatedly to different points.

Details

  • RegionMember is also known as point in region test, membership test, and membership conditions.
  • A constant region is a region where ConstantRegionQ[reg] gives True.
