- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### AbstractRegion

          protected AbstractRegion(double tolerance)

      Build a region representing the whole space.
      Parameters:
        `tolerance` - tolerance below which points are considered identical.

    - #### AbstractRegion

          protected AbstractRegion(BSPTree<S> tree,
                        double tolerance)

      Build a region from an inside/outside BSP tree.

      The leaf nodes of the BSP tree must have a `Boolean` attribute representing the inside status of the corresponding cell (true for inside cells, false for outside cells). In order to avoid building too many small objects, it is recommended to use the predefined constants `Boolean.TRUE` and `Boolean.FALSE`. The tree also must have either null internal nodes or internal nodes representing the boundary as specified in the `getTree` method).

      Parameters:
        `tree` - inside/outside BSP tree representing the region
        `tolerance` - tolerance below which points are considered identical.

    - #### AbstractRegion

          protected AbstractRegion(Collection<SubHyperplane<S>> boundary,
                        double tolerance)

      Build a Region from a Boundary REPresentation (B-rep).

      The boundary is provided as a collection of `sub-hyperplanes`. Each sub-hyperplane has the interior part of the region on its minus side and the exterior on its plus side.

      The boundary elements can be in any order, and can form several non-connected sets (like for example polygons with holes or a set of disjoints polyhedrons considered as a whole). In fact, the elements do not even need to be connected together (their topological connections are not used here). However, if the boundary does not really separate an inside open from an outside open (open having here its topological meaning), then subsequent calls to the `checkPoint` method will not be meaningful anymore.

      If the boundary is empty, the region will represent the whole space.

      Parameters:
        `boundary` - collection of boundary elements, as a collection of `SubHyperplane` objects
        `tolerance` - tolerance below which points are considered identical.

    - #### AbstractRegion

          public AbstractRegion(Hyperplane<S>[] hyperplanes,
                        double tolerance)

      Build a convex region from an array of bounding hyperplanes.
      Parameters:
        `hyperplanes` - array of bounding hyperplanes (if null, an empty region will be built)
        `tolerance` - tolerance below which points are considered identical.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### buildNew

          public abstract AbstractRegion<S,T> buildNew(BSPTree<S> newTree)

      Build a region using the instance as a prototype.

      This method allow to create new instances without knowing exactly the type of the region. It is an application of the prototype design pattern.

      The leaf nodes of the BSP tree must have a `Boolean` attribute representing the inside status of the corresponding cell (true for inside cells, false for outside cells). In order to avoid building too many small objects, it is recommended to use the predefined constants `Boolean.TRUE` and `Boolean.FALSE`. The tree also must have either null internal nodes or internal nodes representing the boundary as specified in the `getTree` method).

      Specified by:
        `buildNew` in interface `Region<S extends Space>`

    - #### copySelf

          public AbstractRegion<S,T> copySelf()

    - #### getTree

          public BSPTree<S> getTree(boolean includeBoundaryAttributes)

      Get the underlying BSP tree.

      Regions are represented by an underlying inside/outside BSP tree whose leaf attributes are `Boolean` instances representing inside leaf cells if the attribute value is `true` and outside leaf cells if the attribute is `false`. These leaf attributes are always present and guaranteed to be non null.

      In addition to the leaf attributes, the internal nodes which correspond to cells split by cut sub-hyperplanes may contain `BoundaryAttribute` objects representing the parts of the corresponding cut sub-hyperplane that belong to the boundary. When the boundary attributes have been computed, all internal nodes are guaranteed to have non-null attributes, however some `BoundaryAttribute` instances may have their `getPlusInside` and `getPlusOutside` methods both returning null if the corresponding cut sub-hyperplane does not have any parts belonging to the boundary.

      Since computing the boundary is not always required and can be time-consuming for large trees, these internal nodes attributes are computed using lazy evaluation only when required by setting the `includeBoundaryAttributes` argument to `true`. Once computed, these attributes remain in the tree, which implies that in this case, further calls to the method for the same region will always include these attributes regardless of the value of the `includeBoundaryAttributes` argument.

      Specified by:
        `getTree` in interface `Region<S extends Space>`
      Parameters:
        `includeBoundaryAttributes` - if true, the boundary attributes at internal nodes are guaranteed to be included (they may be included even if the argument is false, if they have already been computed due to a previous call)
      Returns:
        underlying BSP tree
      See Also:
        `BoundaryAttribute`
