\page view_geom_obj_page Viewing geometrical objects

Newly created geometrical objects are automatically displayed in
the <b>OCC 3D Viewer</b>.

<b>OCC 3D Viewer</b> is described in the documentation on <b>GUI
module</b>.

After the object has appeared in the Viewer, you can select it with
left mouse click to change its presentation parameters and access to
other useful options by right-clicking on the selected object.

transparency of geometrical objects.</li>
<li>\subpage isolines_page "Isos" - allows to change the number of
isolines displayed within a shape.</li>
<li>\subpage deflection_page "Deflection" - allows to change the
deviation coefficient of a shape.</li>
<li>\subpage point_marker_page "Point Marker" - allows to change the
representation of geometrical vertices.</li>
<li><b>Auto color</b> / <b>Disable auto color</b> - activates the auto color
mode. When the auto color mode is enabled, the groups created on the
