user: What is Freestyle Predicates (freestyle.predicates) and how is it used in Blender Python scripting?

assistant: # Freestyle Predicates (freestyle.predicates)

This module contains predicates operating on vertices (0D elements)
and polylines (1D elements). It is also intended to be a collection
of examples for predicate definition in Python.

User-defined predicates inherit one of the following base classes,
depending on the object type (0D or 1D) to operate on and the arity
(unary or binary):

- `freestyle.types.BinaryPredicate0D`
- `freestyle.types.BinaryPredicate1D`
- `freestyle.types.UnaryPredicate0D`
- `freestyle.types.UnaryPredicate1D`

        contour if it is bordered by a different shape on each of its sides.

        Parameters:
        :   **inter** (`freestyle.types.Interface1D`) – An Interface1D object.
