# Hypotheses for Region elements

> Region element hypotheses in FlexiLayout Studio ignore objects in the search area; review surrounding rect, detected flag, and quality properties.

When generating hypotheses for a Region element, any objects that fall within the search area are ignored.

A hypothesis generated for a Region element has the following properties:

| Property                | Description                                                                                                                                                                   |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Element name**        | The full name of the element.                                                                                                                                                 |
| **Page**                | The number of the page on which the element has been detected.                                                                                                                |
| **Surrounding rect**    | The coordinates of the surrounding rectangle that encloses the region of the hypothesis.                                                                                      |
| **Width**               | The width of the region of the hypothesis.                                                                                                                                    |
| **Height**              | The height of the region of the hypothesis.                                                                                                                                   |
| **Detected**            | Indicates whether the area of the element has been detected (**True**) or a null hypothesis has been generated (**False**).                                                   |
| **From the best path**  | Indicates whether the hypothesis belongs to the best path in the tree of hypotheses (**True**) or not (**False**).                                                            |
| **Pre-search quality**  | Indicates the quality of the hypothesis required for the hypothesis to satisfy the properties of the element, specified either directly or via Advanced pre-search relations. |
| **Post-search quality** | Indicates the quality of the hypothesis required for the hypothesis to satisfy the conditions in Advanced post-search relations.                                              |
