RegionWithin

RegionWithin[reg1,reg2]

returns True if reg2 is contained within reg1.

Details and Options

  • The region reg2 is contained within reg1 if every point that belongs to reg2 also belongs to reg1.
  • 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 RegionWithin will attempt to compute conditions on parameters such that reg2 is contained within reg1.
  • The following options can be given:
  • Assumptions $Assumptionsassumptions to make about parameters
    GenerateConditions Falsewhether to generate conditions on parameters
