RegionCongruent

RegionCongruent[reg1,reg2]

tests whether the regions reg1 and reg2 are congruent.

Details and Options

  • The regions reg1 and reg2 are congruent if reg2 can be obtained from reg1 by a combination of translations, rotations and reflections.
  • Typically used to test whether two regions have the same shape and size or whether one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other.
  • RegionCongruent[reg1,reg2] gives True if there is an affine transformation from reg1 to reg2 with matrix m satisfying TemplateBox[{m}, Transpose]=TemplateBox[{m}, Inverse].
