Abstract:
1. A system arranged to: display a graphical representation of a shape; enable a user to manipulate said graphical representation by dropping one or more constraints into said shape to divide said shape into a plurality of regions and to associate a term with each of said plurality of regions, each term comprising at least one constraint, and each region comprising a frontier that represents a boundary of the region, an area within the frontier, and a region identifier within the area, the region identifier identifying the region associated with the frontier and the area; and generate a mathematical function comprising for each of said plurality of regions, the mathematical function being a first mathematical function if the dropping of the one or more constraints occurs on the frontier between two regions, the mathematical function being a second mathematical function if the dropping of the one or more constraints occurs on the area of the region, and the mathematical function being a third mathematical function if the dropping of the one or more constraints occurs on the region identifier of the region.
