   7 <b>GetType function:</b>
   8
   9 The <b>Type</b> property of the geometrical object specifies the
  10 way the object has been created. It is an integer identifier that
  11 has predefined value depending on the function type used for the
  12 object creation. The type of the object can be retrieved using the
  13 \b %GetType() function of the \b GEOM_Object interface.
  14
  15 <b>For example</b>: the geometrical object created using MakeBox()
  16 functions has type equal to 7. The shape imported from the BREP,
  17 IGES, STEP or other CAD file, has type equal to 1.
  18
  19 The possible values of the geometrical objects are listed in the table below:

  71
  72 Also geompy.py module provides a helper function ShapeIdToType()
  73 that allows converting of the geometrical object type id value
  74 to its string representation.
  75
  76 For example:
  77 \code
  78 import geompy
  79 box = geompy.MakeBoxDXDYDZ(10,10,10)
  80 type = geompy.ShapeIdToType(box.GetType())
  81 print type
  82 \endcode
  83
  84 The above code prints "BOX" value.
  85
  86 <b>GetShapeType function:</b>
  87
  88 The ShapeType property specifies the geometrical object in terms of
  89 its topology nature.
  90
  91 The possible values are defined in the GEOM namespace: { COMPOUND, COMPSOLID,
  92 SOLID, SHELL, FACE, WIRE, EDGE, VERTEX, SHAPE }<br>
  93
  94 This type can be retrieved using the \b %GetShapeType() function
  95 of the \b GEOM_Object interface.
  96
  97 Example code:
  98 \code
  99 import geompy
 100 import GEOM
 101 box = geompy.MakeBoxDXDYDZ(10,10,10)
 102 type = box.GetShapeType()
 103 print type == GEOM.SOLID
 104 \endcode
 105
 106 This code prints "True".
