## @defgroup geomBuilder geomBuilder Python module
## @{
##
## @details
##
## By default, all functions of geomBuilder Python module do not publish
## resulting geometrical objects. This can be done in the Python script
## by means of \ref geomBuilder.geomBuilder.addToStudy() "addToStudy()"
## or \ref geomBuilder.geomBuilder.addToStudyInFather() "addToStudyInFather()"
## functions.
## 
## However, it is possible to publish result data in the study
## automatically. For this, almost each function of
## \ref geomBuilder.geomBuilder "geomBuilder" class has
## an additional @a theName parameter (@c None by default).
## As soon as non-empty string value is passed to this parameter,
## the result object is published in the study automatically.
## 
## For example, consider the following Python script:
## 
## @code
## import salome
## from salome.geom import geomBuilder
## geompy = geomBuilder.New(salome.myStudy)
## box = geompy.MakeBoxDXDYDZ(100, 100, 100) # box is not published in the study yet
## geompy.addToStudy(box, "box")             # explicit publishing
## @endcode
## 
## Last two lines can be replaced by one-line instruction:
## 
## @code
## box = geompy.MakeBoxDXDYDZ(100, 100, 100, theName="box") # box is published in the study with "box" name
## @endcode
## 
## ... or simply
## 
## @code
## box = geompy.MakeBoxDXDYDZ(100, 100, 100, "box") # box is published in the study with "box" name
## @endcode
##
## Note, that some functions produce more than one geometrical objects. For example,
## \ref geomBuilder.geomBuilder.GetNonBlocks() "GetNonBlocks()" function returns two objects:
## group of all non-hexa solids and group of all non-quad faces.
## For such functions it is possible to specify separate names for results.
##
## For example
##
## @code
## # create and publish cylinder
## cyl = geompy.MakeCylinderRH(100, 100, "cylinder")
## # get non blocks from cylinder
## g1, g2 = geompy.GetNonBlocks(cyl, "nonblock")
## @endcode
##
## Above example will publish both result compounds (first with non-hexa solids and
## second with non-quad faces) as two items, both named "nonblock".
## However, if second command is invoked as
##
## @code
## g1, g2 = geompy.GetNonBlocks(cyl, ("nonhexa", "nonquad"))
## @endcode
##
## ... the first compound will be published with "nonhexa" name, and second will be named "nonquad".
##
## Automatic publication of all results can be also enabled/disabled by means of the function
## \ref geomBuilder.geomBuilder.addToStudyAuto() "addToStudyAuto()". The automatic publishing
## is managed by the numeric parameter passed to this function:
## - if @a maxNbSubShapes = 0, automatic publishing is disabled.
## - if @a maxNbSubShapes = -1 (default), automatic publishing is enabled and
##   maximum number of sub-shapes allowed for publishing is unlimited; any negative
##   value passed as parameter has the same effect.
## - if @a maxNbSubShapes is any positive value, automatic publishing is enabled and
##   maximum number of sub-shapes allowed for publishing is set to specified value.
## 
## When automatic publishing is enabled, you even do not need to pass @a theName parameter 
## to the functions creating objects, instead default names will be used. However, you
## can always change the behavior, by passing explicit name to the @a theName parameter
## and it will be used instead default one.
## The publishing of the collections of objects will be done according to the above
## mentioned rules (maximum allowed number of sub-shapes).
##
## For example:
##
## @code
## import salome
## from salome.geom import geomBuilder
## geompy = geomBuilder.New(salome.myStudy)
## geompy.addToStudyAuto() # enable automatic publication
## box = geompy.MakeBoxDXDYDZ(100, 100, 100) 
## # the box is created and published in the study with default name
## geompy.addToStudyAuto(5) # set max allowed number of sub-shapes to 5
## vertices = geompy.SubShapeAll(box, geomBuilder.ShapeType['VERTEX'])
## # only 5 first vertices will be published, with default names
## print len(vertices)
## # note, that result value still containes all 8 vertices
## geompy.addToStudyAuto(-1) # disable automatic publication
## @endcode
##
## This feature can be used, for example, for debugging purposes.
##
## @note
## - Use automatic publication feature with caution. When it is enabled, any function of
##   \ref geomBuilder.geomBuilder "geomBuilder" class publishes the results in the study,
##   that can lead to the huge size of the study data tree.
##   For example, repeating call of \ref geomBuilder.geomBuilder.SubShapeAll() "SubShapeAll()"
##   command on the same main shape each time will publish all child objects, that will lead
##   to a lot of duplicated items in the study.
## - Sub-shapes are automatically published as child items of the parent main shape in the study if main
##   shape was also published before. Otherwise, sub-shapes are published as top-level objects.
## - Some functions of \ref geomBuilder.geomBuilder "geomBuilder" class do not have
##   \a theName parameter (and, thus, do not support automatic publication).
##   For example, some transformation operations like
##   \ref geomBuilder.geomBuilder.TranslateDXDYDZ() "TranslateDXDYDZ()".
##   Refer to the documentation to check if some function has such possibility.
##
## It is possible to customize the representation of the geometrical
## data in the data tree; this can be done by using folders. A folder can
## be created in the study tree using function 
## \ref geomBuilder.geomBuilder.NewFolder() "NewFolder()" 
## (by default it is created under the "Geometry" root object). 
## As soon as folder is created, any published geometry object 
## can be moved into it.
##  
## For example:
## 
## @code
## import salome
## from salome.geom import geomBuilder
## geompy = geomBuilder.New(salome.myStudy)
## box = geompy.MakeBoxDXDYDZ(100, 100, 100, "Box") 
## # the box was created and published in the study
## folder = geompy.NewFolder("Primitives")
## # an empty "Primitives" folder was created under default "Geometry" root object
## geompy.PutToFolder(box, folder)
## # the box was moved into "Primitives" folder
## @endcode
## 
## Subfolders are also can be created by specifying another folder as a parent:
## 
## @code
## subfolder = geompy.NewFolder("3D", folder)
## # "3D" folder was created under "Primitives" folder
## @endcode
## 
## @note
## - Folder container is just a representation layer object that
## deals with already published objects only. So, any geometry object 
## should be published in the study (for example, with 
## \ref geomBuilder.geomBuilder.PutToFolder() "addToStudy()" function)
## BEFORE moving it into any existing folder.
## - \ref geomBuilder.geomBuilder.PutToFolder() "PutToFolder()" function
## does not change physical position of geometry object in the study tree,
## it only affects on the representation of the data tree.
## - It is impossible to publish geometry object using any folder as father.
