dmn = extract_countries("italy; spain")

rome = Point(LatLon(41.9, 12.49))
paris = Point(LatLon(48.864, 2.349))
madrid = Point(LatLon(40.416, -3.703))
# Verify that rome and madrid are included in the domain
rome in dmn # Returns true
madrid in dmn # Returns true
paris in dmn # Returns false as we only extracted italy and spainSee the docstring of extract_countries (and its extended help) for more details, or check the example notebook within the notebooks folder. A static version of the notebook is also available at this link
