RegionIntersection
RegionIntersection[reg1,reg2,…]
gives the intersection of the regions reg1, reg2, ….
Details and Options
- A point p belongs to RegionIntersection[reg1,reg2,…] if it belongs to all regi.
- RegionIntersection takes the same options as Region.

Scope (13)
Special Regions (7)
For some regions, intersection is computed explicitly:
An intersection of an infinite line and a ball:
An intersection of Line regions:
An intersection of Polygon regions:
An intersection of two Disk regions:
An intersection of a cuboid a cone:
An intersection of regions with different RegionDimension:
Formula Regions (2)
An intersection of ImplicitRegion objects is an ImplicitRegion:
An intersection of ParametricRegion objects:
Mesh Regions (2)
An intersection of BoundaryMeshRegion objects is a BoundaryMeshRegion:
An intersection of full-dimensional MeshRegion objects is a MeshRegion:
Derived Regions (2)
An intersection of BooleanRegion objects:
An intersection of TransformedRegion objects:
Applications (3)
Define a disk segment as an intersection of a disk and a half-plane:
Define a new basic region diskSegment that uses the same notation as Disk does for disk sectors, so that diskSegment[{x,y},r,{θ1,θ2}] represents the disk segment from θ1 to θ2. Do it by writing it as a RegionIntersection of a Disk and a HalfPlane:
This evaluates an object that is RegionQ and can be used as any other region:
Properties & Relations (4)
A point p belongs to RegionIntersection[reg1,reg2,…] if it belongs to all regi:
Use RegionMember to test membership:
RegionIntersection is a Boolean combination And of regions:
The RegionMeasure of an intersection obeys a simple formula:
Subtract the measure of the RegionUnion from the sum of the measures:
The RegionDimension of an intersection is at most the minimum of all input dimensions:
These regions overlap only at a point, so the dimension of the intersection is 0:
Possible Issues (2)
RegionIntersection is defined only for regions with the same RegionEmbeddingDimension:
Components of dimension less than the embedding dimension may be omitted:
