AnyNoOverlap Rule

: Syntax: AnyNoOverlap [Region region_expr] expression [string]

The AnyNoOverlap test signals a violation if any source figure is completely covered by the figures associated with the expression. This is illustrated in Figure 15.6, for no Region and an expression consisting of a single layer.

**Figure 15.6:** The *AnyNoOverlap* test. The present figure (solid) must be partially uncovered by figures resulting from evaluating the expression argument (dotted).
$\begin{figure} \vspace{1.5ex} \begin{center} \epsfbox{images/anynooverlap.eps} \end{center}\end{figure}$

The returns from the various Overlap tests are summarized in the table below.

IfOverlap ok error ok

NoOverlap error error ok

AnyOverlap ok ok error

PartOverlap error ok error

AnyNoOverlap error ok ok
