GetType function:
The Type property of the geometrical object specifies the
way the object has been created. It is an integer identifier that
has a predefined value depending on the function type used for the
object creation. The type of the object can be retrieved using the
\b %GetType() function of the \b GEOM_Object interface.
For example: the geometrical object created using MakeBox()
functions has type equal to 7. The shape imported from the BREP,
IGES, STEP or other CAD file, has type equal to 1.
The possible values of the geometrical objects are listed in the table below:
| ID | STRING |
| 0 | COPY |
| 1 | IMPORT |
| 2 | POINT |
| 3 | VECTOR |
| 4 | PLANE |
| 5 | LINE |
| 6 | TORUS |
| 7 | BOX |
| 8 | CYLINDER |
| 9 | CONE |
| 10 | SPHERE |
| 11 | PRISM |
| 12 | REVOLUTION |
| 13 | BOOLEAN |
| 14 | PARTITION |
| 15 | POLYLINE |
| 16 | CIRCLE |
| 17 | SPLINE |
| 18 | ELLIPSE |
| 19 | CIRC_ARC |
| 20 | FILLET |
| 21 | CHAMFER |
| 22 | EDGE |
| 23 | WIRE |
| 24 | FACE |
| 25 | SHELL |
| 26 | SOLID |
| 27 | COMPOUND |
| 28 | SUBSHAPE |
| 29 | PIPE |
| 30 | ARCHIMEDE |
| 31 | FILLING |
| 32 | EXPLODE |
| 33 | GLUED |
| 34 | SKETCHER |
| 35 | CDG |
| 36 | FREE_BOUNDS |
| 37 | GROUP |
| 38 | BLOCK |
| 39 | MARKER |
| 40 | THRUSECTIONS |
| 41 | COMPOUNDFILTER |
| 42 | SHAPES_ON_SHAPE |
| 43 | ELLIPSE_ARC |
| 44 | 3DSKETCHER |
| 45 | FILLET_2D |
| 46 | FILLET_1D |
| 201 | PIPETSHAPE |
Also geompy.py module provides a helper function ShapeIdToType()
that allows converting the geometrical object id value to its string representation.
For example, the output of the following code:
\code
import salome
salome.salome_init()
import GEOM
from salome.geom import geomBuilder
geompy = geomBuilder.New(salome.myStudy)
box = geompy.MakeBoxDXDYDZ(10,10,10)
type = geompy.ShapeIdToType(box.GetType())
print type
\endcode
will be the "BOX" value.
GetShapeType function:
The ShapeType property specifies the geometrical object in terms of
its topologic nature.
The possible values are defined in the GEOM namespace: { COMPOUND, COMPSOLID,
SOLID, SHELL, FACE, WIRE, EDGE, VERTEX, SHAPE }
This type can be retrieved using the \b %GetShapeType() function
of the \b GEOM_Object interface.
For example:
\code
import salome
salome.salome_init()
import GEOM
from salome.geom import geomBuilder
geompy = geomBuilder.New(salome.myStudy)
box = geompy.MakeBoxDXDYDZ(10,10,10)
type = box.GetShapeType()
print type == GEOM.SOLID
\endcode
The result is "True".
