Hi,

try replacing inequalities by equalities. This should work fine as long 

as you do not have intersecting regions. E.g.:

x^2+y^2<100  ==> x^2+y^2=100, obviously a circle

(5<=x<=25 and -10<=y<=10)  ===>( x==5&&-10<=y<=10) || 

(x==25&&-10<=y<=10) || (5<=x<=25&&y==-10)  || (5<=x<=25&&y==10), four 

line segements.
