All Implemented Interfaces:

ADQLObject, ADQLOperand
```
public class RegionFunction
extends GeometryFunction
```
It represents the REGION function the ADQL language.

This function provides a generic way of expressing a region represented by a single string input parameter. The format of the string MUST be specified by a service that accepts ADQL by referring to a standard format. Currently STC/s is the only standardized string representation a service can declare.

Example:
REGION('Convex ... Position ... Error ... Size')
In this example the function embeds a string serialization of an STC region within parenthesis.

Warning:
Inappropriate geometries for this construct SHOULD throw an error message, to be defined by the service making use of ADQL.
