3 \page create_explode_page Explode
5 \n To \b Explode an object into sub-shapes, in the <b>Main Menu</b>
6 select <b>New Entity > Explode</b>.
8 \n To create a list of sub-shapes (vertices, edges, wires etc.) of the
9 given shape using the \b Explode operation, you need to define the <b>Main
10 Object</b>, which will be exploded and the <b>Type of Sub-shapes</b> you wish to
12 \n The \b Result of the operation will be a List of \b GEOM_Objects
13 (vertexes, edges, wires, faces, shells or solids).
15 \n Using <b>TUI Commands</b> you can perform this operation in a
18 <li><em>geompy.ExtractShapes(Shape, Type, isSorted)</em> explodes a
19 Shape into sub-shapes of a given Type and returns a List of sub-shapes.
20 This method does not return the Shape itself if it matches the
22 <li><em>geompy.SubShapeAll(Shape, Type)</em> explodes a Shape on
23 sub-shapes of a given Type and returns a List of sub-shapes.</li>
24 <li><em>geompy.SubShapeAllIDs(Shape, Type)</em> explodes a Shape on
25 sub-shapes of a given Type and returns a List of IDs of
27 <li><em>geompy.SubShapeAllSortedCentres(Shape, Type)</em> explodes a
28 shape on sub-shapes of a given type and sorts them by coordinates of
29 their gravity centers, returning a list of sub-shapes.</li>
30 <li><em>geompy.SubShapeAllSortedCentresIDs(Shape, Type)</em> explodes
31 a shape on sub-shapes of a given type and sorts them by coordinates of
32 their gravity centers, returning a List of IDs of sub-shapes.</li>
33 <li><em>geompy.SubShape(Shape, Type, ListOfInd)</em> allows to obtain
34 a compound of sub-shapes of the Shape, selected by they indices in a
35 list of all sub-shapes of the given Type. Each index is in the range
36 [1, Nb_Sub-Shapes_Of_Given_Type].</li>
37 <li><em>geompy.SubShapeSortedCentres(Shape, Type, ListOfInd)</em>
38 allows to obtain a compound of sub-shapes of the Shape, selected by
39 they indices in sorted list of all sub-shapes of the given Type. Each
40 index is in the range [1, Nb_Sub-Shapes_Of_Given_Type]</li>
43 \n <b>Arguments: </b>1 SHAPE + 1 type of SubShape.
