is_element

Tests if a point is on a geometric object. Returns 1 if it is and

0 otherwise

is_element(point, object)

Example:

is_element(point

, circle(0,1)) returns 1.

is_equilateral

Takes three points and tests whether or not they are vertices of

a single equilateral triangle. Returns 1 if they are and 0

otherwise.

is_equilateral(point1, point2, point3)

Example:

is_equilateral(point(0,0), point(4,0),
point(2,4)) returns 0.

is_isoceles

Takes three points and tests whether or not they are vertices of

a single isosceles triangle. Returns 0 if they are not. If they are,

returns the number order of the common point of the two sides

of equal length (1, 2, or 3). Returns 4 if the three points form

an equilateral triangle.

is_isosceles(point1, point2, point3)

Example:

is_isoscelesl(point(0,0), point(4,0),
point(2,4)) returns 3.

is_orthogonal

Tests whether or not two lines or two circles are orthogonal

(perpendicular). In the case of two circles, tests whether or not

the tangent lines at a point of intersection are orthogonal.

Returns 1 if they are and 0 otherwise.

is_orthogonal(line1, line2)

or

is_orthogonal(circle1, circle2)

Example:

is_orthogonal(line(y=x),line(y=-x)) returns 1.
