A square is an equilateral and equiangular parallelogram.
A square Sq is defined by a list of four given points in the correct order. For a list of four points A,B,E,F, the condition is that the segments AB, BE, EF, and FA must make a square.
To access the information relating to a square Sq, use the following function calls:
form(Sq)
returns the form of the geometric object
(i.e., square2d if Sq is a square).
DefinedAs(Sq)
the list of four vertices of Sq.
diagonal(Sq)
the distance of the diagonal of Sq.
detail(Sq)
returns a detailed description of the object Sq.
The command with(geometry,square) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
