<TT>fd_domain(Vars, Lower, Upper)</TT> constraints each element <TT>X</TT>

predicate is generally used to set the initial domain of variables to an
interval. <TT>Vars</TT> can be also a single FD variable (or a single Prolog
variable).<BR>
<BR>
<TT>fd_domain_bool(Vars)</TT> is equivalent to <TT>fd_domain(Vars, 0,
1)</TT> and is used to declare boolean FD variables.<BR>
