class FindContigousEdges from BRepOffsetAPI

	---Purpose: Provides methods to identify contigous boundaries
	--          for continuity control (C0, C1, ...)
	--          
	--          Use this function as following:
	--            - create an object 
	--                - default tolerance 1.E-06
	--                - with analysis of degenerated faces on
	--                - define if necessary a new tolerance
	--                - set if necessary analysis of degenerated shapes off
	--            - add shapes to be controlled -> Add
	--            - compute -> Perfom
	--            - output couples of connected edges for control
	--            - output the problems if any

is
    Create(tolerance: Real = 1.0e-06; -- tolerance of connexity
    	   option:    Boolean = Standard_True) -- option for analysis of degenerated shapes 
    	---Purpose: Initializes an algorithm for identifying contiguous edges
    	-- on shapes with tolerance as the tolerance of contiguity
    	-- (defaulted to 1.0e-6). This tolerance value is used to
    	-- determine whether two edges or sections of edges are coincident.
    	-- Use the function Add to define the shapes to be checked.
    	-- Set option to false. This argument (defaulted to true) will
    	-- serve in subsequent software releases for performing an
    	-- analysis of degenerated shapes.
    returns FindContigousEdges from BRepOffsetAPI;
  
    Init(me: in out; tolerance: Real; option: Boolean);
        ---Purpose: Initializes this algorithm for identifying contiguous edges
	-- on shapes using the tolerance of contiguity tolerance.
	-- This tolerance value is used to determine whether two
	-- edges or sections of edges are coincident.
	-- Use the function Add to define the shapes to be checked.
	-- Sets <option> to false.

    Add(me: in out; shape: Shape from TopoDS);
        ---Purpose: Adds the shape shape to the list of shapes to be
	-- checked by this algorithm.
	-- Once all the shapes to be checked have been added,
	-- use the function Perform to find the contiguous edges
	-- and the function ContigousEdge to return these edges.

    Perform(me: in out);
        ---Purpose: Finds coincident parts of edges of two or more shapes
	-- added to this algorithm and breaks down these edges
	-- into contiguous and non-contiguous sections on copies
	-- of the initial shapes.
	--        The function ContigousEdge returns contiguous
	-- edges. The function Modified can be used to return
	-- modified copies of the initial shapes where one or more
	-- edges were broken down into contiguous and non-contiguous sections.
	-- Warning
	-- This function must be used once all the shapes to be
	-- checked have been added. It is not possible to add
	-- further shapes subsequently and then to repeat the call to Perform.
    NbEdges(me) returns Integer;
	---Purpose: Gives  the number  of edges (free  edges + contigous
        --          edges  +  multiple edge)

    NbContigousEdges(me) returns Integer;
        ---Purpose: Returns the number of contiguous edges found by the
	-- function Perform on the shapes added to this algorithm.

    ContigousEdge(me; index: Integer) returns Edge from TopoDS
        ---Purpose: Returns the contiguous edge of index index found by
	-- the function Perform on the shapes added to this algorithm.
	-- Exceptions
	-- Standard_OutOfRange if:
	-- - index is less than 1, or
	-- - index is greater than the number of contiguous
	--   edges found by the function Perform on the shapes added to this algorithm.
   	---C++: return const &
   raises
      OutOfRange from Standard;
 
    ContigousEdgeCouple(me; index: Integer) returns ListOfShape from TopTools
      	---Purpose: Returns a list of edges coincident with the contiguous
	-- edge of index index found by the function Perform.
	-- There are as many edges in the list as there are faces
	-- adjacent to this contiguous edge.
 	-- Exceptions
	-- Standard_OutOfRange if:
	-- - index is less than 1, or
	-- - index is greater than the number of contiguous edges
	--   found by the function Perform on the shapes added to this algorithm.
  	---C++: return const &
  raises
      OutOfRange from Standard;

    SectionToBoundary(me; section: Edge from TopoDS) returns Edge from TopoDS
        ---Purpose: Returns the edge on the initial shape, of which the
	-- modified copy contains the edge section.
	-- section is coincident with a contiguous edge found by
	-- the function Perform. Use the function
	-- ContigousEdgeCouple to obtain a valid section.
	-- This information is useful for verification purposes, since
	-- it provides a means of determining the surface to which
	-- the contiguous edge belongs.
	-- Exceptions
	-- Standard_NoSuchObject if section is not coincident
	-- with a contiguous edge. Use the function
	-- ContigousEdgeCouple to obtain a valid section.
      	---C++: return const &
      raises
      NoSuchObject from Standard;

    NbDegeneratedShapes(me) returns Integer;
      ---Purpose: Gives the number of degenerated shapes

    DegeneratedShape(me; index: Integer) returns Shape from TopoDS
      ---Purpose: Gives a degenerated shape
      ---C++: return const &
    raises
      OutOfRange from Standard;
    	-- raised if index < 1 or > NbDegeneratedShapes

    IsDegenerated(me; shape: Shape from TopoDS) returns Boolean;
      ---Purpose: Indicates if a input shape is degenerated

    IsModified(me; shape: Shape from TopoDS) returns Boolean;
      	---Purpose: Returns true if the copy of the initial shape shape was
	-- modified by the function Perform (i.e. if one or more of
	-- its edges was broken down into contiguous and non-contiguous sections).
	-- Warning
	-- Returns false if shape is not one of the initial shapes
	-- added to this algorithm.

    Modified(me; shape: Shape from TopoDS) returns Shape from TopoDS
      ---Purpose: Gives a modifieded shape
      -- Raises   NoSuchObject if shape has not been modified
      ---C++: return const &
    raises
      NoSuchObject from Standard;

    Dump(me);
      ---Purpose: Dump properties of resulting shape.
