Parameters

f

-

point, list or set of points

obj

-

line, plane, or sphere

cond

-

(optional) name

Description

• 

The routine returns true if the point f or the list/set of points f is on object obj; false if it is not; and FAIL if it is unable to reach a conclusion.

• 

In case of FAIL, if the third optional argument is given, the condition that makes f on object l is assigned to this argument. It will be either of the form expr=0 or of the form &andexpr_1=0,...,expr_n=0 where expr, expr_i are maple expressions.

• 

The command with(geom3d,IsOnObject) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
