    - #### RegionFactory

          public RegionFactory()

      Simple constructor.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### buildConvex

          public Region<S> buildConvex(Hyperplane<S>... hyperplanes)

      Build a convex region from a collection of bounding hyperplanes.
      Parameters:
        `hyperplanes` - collection of bounding hyperplanes
      Returns:
        a new convex region, or null if the collection is empty

    - #### union

          public Region<S> union(Region<S> region1,
                        Region<S> region2)

      Compute the union of two regions.
      Parameters:
        `region1` - first region (will be unusable after the operation as parts of it will be reused in the new region)
        `region2` - second region (will be unusable after the operation as parts of it will be reused in the new region)
      Returns:
        a new region, result of `region1 union region2`

    - #### intersection

          public Region<S> intersection(Region<S> region1,
                               Region<S> region2)

      Compute the intersection of two regions.
      Parameters:
        `region1` - first region (will be unusable after the operation as parts of it will be reused in the new region)
        `region2` - second region (will be unusable after the operation as parts of it will be reused in the new region)
      Returns:
        a new region, result of `region1 intersection region2`

    - #### xor

          public Region<S> xor(Region<S> region1,
                      Region<S> region2)

      Compute the symmetric difference (exclusive or) of two regions.
      Parameters:
        `region1` - first region (will be unusable after the operation as parts of it will be reused in the new region)
        `region2` - second region (will be unusable after the operation as parts of it will be reused in the new region)
      Returns:
        a new region, result of `region1 xor region2`

    - #### difference

          public Region<S> difference(Region<S> region1,
                             Region<S> region2)

      Compute the difference of two regions.
      Parameters:
        `region1` - first region (will be unusable after the operation as parts of it will be reused in the new region)
        `region2` - second region (will be unusable after the operation as parts of it will be reused in the new region)
      Returns:
        a new region, result of `region1 minus region2`

    - #### getComplement

          public Region<S> getComplement(Region<S> region)

      Get the complement of the region (exchanged interior/exterior).
      Parameters:
        `region` - region to complement, it will not modified, a new region independent region will be built
      Returns:
        a new region, complement of the specified one
