class MakeWire from BRepLib inherits MakeShape from BRepLib 

	---Purpose: Provides methods to build wires.
	--          
	--          A wire may be built :
	--          
	--          * From a single edge.
	--          
	--          * From a wire and an edge.  
	--          
	--            - A new wire  is created with the edges  of  the
	--            wire + the edge.
	--          
	--            - If the edge is not connnected  to the wire the
	--            flag NotDone   is set and  the  method Wire will
	--            raise an error.
	--            
	--            - The connection may be :
	--              
	--              . Through an existing vertex. The edge is shared.
	--              
	--              . Through a geometric coincidence of vertices.
	--              The edge is  copied  and the vertices from the
	--              edge are  replaced  by  the vertices from  the
	--              wire.
	--              
	--              . The new edge and the connection vertices are
	--              kept by the algorithm.
	--              
	--          
	--          * From 2, 3, 4 edges.
	--          
	--              - A wire is  created from  the first edge, the
	--              following edges are added.
	--              
	--          * From many edges.
	--          
	--              - The following syntax may be used :
	--              
	--                BRepLib_MakeWire MW;
	--                
	--                  // for all the edges ...
	--                  MW.Add(anEdge);
	--                
	--                TopoDS_Wire W = MW;
