\n To produce a <b>Mirror Image</b> in the <b>Main Menu</b> select 
<b>Operations - > Transformation - > Mirror Image</b>

\n This operation creates a symmetrical copy of an \b Object, which
can be mirrored in three different ways.
\n <b>Create a copy</b> checkbox allows to keep the initial object,
otherwise it will be removed.
\n The \b Result will be a \b GEOM_Object.

\n Firstly an \b Object can be mirrored through a \b Point of symmetry
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeMirrorByPoint(Object, Point)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + one or several objects + 1 vertex.
\n \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Advanced options".

\n Secondly an \b Object can be mirrored through an \b Axis of
symmetry
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeMirrorByAxis(Object, Axis)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + one or several objects + 1 vector.
\n \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Advanced options".

\n Finally an \b Object can be mirrored through a \b Plane of symmetry
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeMirrorByPlane(Shape, Plane)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + one or several objects + 1 plane
\n \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Advanced options".
