Abstract
Shapes represent a very important way with which we perceive and reaso n about the world. In this article we develop a logic-based framework to represent graphical shapes in two dimensions. Based on the concept of halfplanes, this framework allows us to represent regions as predic ates in logic. This representation is applied to demonstrate shape con cepts associated with topology and emergence.
