RegionErosion

RegionErosion[reg,r]

gives the erosion of the region reg by a disk of radius r centered at the origin.

RegionErosion[reg1,reg2]

gives the erosion of the region reg1 by the region reg2.

RegionErosion[reg1,reg2,{u,v}]

gives the erosion of reg1 scaled by a factor u and reg2 scaled by a factor v.

Details and Options

  • RegionErosion is also known as Minkowski difference or geometric difference.
  • Typically used to construct the intersection of all positions of a region through translation.
  • RegionErosion[reg,r] gives the erosion of the region reg by a disk of radius r.
  • RegionErosion[reg1,reg2] returns reg1reg2={d|dreg2reg1} where ab is RegionDilation.
  • RegionErosion[reg1,reg2,{u,v}] returns u reg1v reg2={d|dv reg2u reg1}.
  • RegionErosion takes the same options as Region.
