Geometry

is_parallel

Tests whether or not two lines are parallel. Returns 1 if they

are and 0 otherwise.

is_parallel(line1, line2)

Example:

is_parallel(line(2x+3y=7),line(2x+3y=9)

returns 1.

is_parallelogram

Tests whether or not a set of four points are vertices of a

parallelogram. Returns 0 if they are not. If they are, then

returns 1 if they form only a parallelogram, 2 if they form a

rhombus, 3 if they form a rectangle, and 4 if they form a

square.

is_parallelogram(point1, point2, point3,
point4)

Example:

is_parallelogram(point(0,0), point(2,4),
point(0,8), point(-2,4)) returns 2.

is_perpendicular

Similar to is_orthogonal. Tests whether or not two lines are

perpendicular.

is_perpendicular(line1, line2)

is_rectangle

Tests whether or not a set of four points are vertices of a

rectangle. Returns 0 if they are not, 1 if they are, and 2 if they

are vertices of a square.

is_rectangle(point1, point2, point3, point4)

Examples:

is_rectangle(point(0,0), point(4,2),
point(2,6), point(-2,4)) returns 2.
With a set of only three points as argument, tests whether or

not they are vertices of a right triangle. Returns 0 if they are

not. If they are, returns the number order of the common point

of the two perpendicular sides (1, 2, or 3).

is_rectangle(point(0,0), point(4,2),
point(2,6)) returns 2.
