real analysis - Must a function that maps bounded convex sets (minus straight line segments) to bounded convex sets be continuous everywhere?

This question in the title came to my mind while I was sitting with my granny in front of my house maybe about half an hour ago.



Although it looks innocent I do not know at the moment some simple argument that would prove or disprove it.




So, let us suppose that we have some function f which is defined on the whole Rn and that if SRn is bounded convex set which is not the straight line segment (with or without boundary points) that then f(S) is also bounded convex set.




Is every such f continuous everywhere?




Be aware that we do not consider functions defined on R because bounded convex sets on R must be straight line segments (with or without boundary points) so we seek to find an answer for n2.
