Following Thierry's last post on the thread "Help with beginning to 
contribute to set.mm".

There are many ways to characterize the set of points in a triangle. I 
think the simplest to state is by using barycentric coordinates:

(triangle with vertices A, B, C \in \C) = \{ X \in \C | \exists a, b, c \in 
\R_{\geq 0}, a + b + c = 1 and X = a A + b B + c C \}

This generalizes to all simplices in any dimension (starting with dimension 
0).

By the way, I think that in your (Thierry) description, you got the 
opposite sign for F and your S is actually a parallelogram.
