TOPIC: REGIONS
Regions are 2D enclosed areas that have physical properties such as centroids or centers of mass.
You can combine existing regions into a single, complex region.
You can create regions from objects that form closed loops. Loops can be combinations of lines,
polylines, circles, arcs, ellipses, elliptical arcs, and splines that enclose an area.

to identify gaps in the boundary.
