RegionEqual

RegionEqual[reg1,reg2]

returns True if the regions reg1 and reg2 are equal.

RegionEqual[reg1,reg2,reg3,]

returns True if the regions reg1, reg2, reg3, are all equal.

Details and Options

  • The regions reg1 and reg2 are equal if all points in reg1 are points in reg2 and vice versa.
  • If all regi are parameter-free regions, i.e. ConstantRegionQ[regi] is True, the regions are point sets, and typically True or False is returned.
  • If some regi depend on parameters, i.e. ConstantRegionQ[regi] is False, then regi represents a family of regions, and RegionEqual will attempt to compute conditions on parameters such that the regions are equal.
  • The following options can be given:
  • Assumptions $Assumptionsassumptions to make about parameters
    GenerateConditions Falsewhether to generate conditions on parameters
