Intersection of two MeshRegion objects:
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:
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:
Visualize the disk segment together with the disk:
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:
