Context: region

Synopsis

Description

The regRegionString returns a string representation of the region.

The region module is not available by default; see "ahelp region" for information on loading the module.


Examples

Example 1

>>> from region import *
>>> r1 = regParse("circle(10,10,4)")
>>> print(regRegionString(r1))
Circle(10,10,4)

Example 2

>>> r2 = regParse("circle(10,10,4)-rect(4,2,5,4)")
>>> print(regRegionString(r2))
Circle(10,10,4)&!Rectangle(4,2,5,4)
