The Unit Disk


The Unit Disk is a two dimensional region, which includes all points inside a unit circle. It has one boundary: the unit circle (which is a Mapped Region). In terms of the Base Classes:

Base Space Dimension = 2.
isitInChart((x,y))={x*x+y*y<=1}.
isitOpen()=FALSE.
getNumberOfBoundaries()=1.
getBoundary(0)= The Unit Circle.
Regions are derived from Manifolds, and the other member functions that a Manifold requires will be provided. The Manifold will not be discrete, and will be differentiable.

For more details, see the reference for the NADisc class.
