So I tried plotting an annulus in two ways:



RegionPlot[Annulus[0,0,a,b]]
Graphics[Annulus[0,0,a,b]]


Why does RegionPlot give a fractal looking thing? (see below for when a=1; b=5;)
RegionPlot image



*note, I used wolfram programing lab.

    There are some subtle differences going on how Mma shows Regions and RegionPlot Graphics. Also Regions can be defined analytically via ImplicitRegion or ParametricRegion or as 'flat' MeshRegions. DiscretizeRegion converts every type to a MeshRegion and some functions like RegionPlot might use something similar to DiscretizeRegion under the hood to make plotting easier, whose discretization it for some reason decides to show. Like others wrote you can use ImplicitRegion to get a different (not discretized) look in your case.

 a = 1; b = 5;


Please try plotting with Region[]. These look okay to me:



 Region[RegionDifference[Disk[0, 0, b], Disk[0, 0, a]]]


enter image description here



 Region[Annulus[0, 0, a, b]]


enter image description here



Here is a decent plot, with RegionPlot:



 RegionPlot[x^2 + y^2 > 1 && x^2 + y^2 < 25, x, -6, 6, y, -6, 6]


enter image description here



Here it is (again) with Graphics[]:



 Graphics[LightBlue, Annulus[0, 0, a, b]]


enter image description here
