//! Inherited  from InternalAlgo  to  provide  methods with Shape from TopoDS.
//! A framework to compute a shape as seen in a projection plane. This is done by
//! calculating the visible and the hidden parts of the shape.
//! HLRBRep_Algo works with three types of entity:
//! -   shapes to be visualized
//! -   edges in these shapes (these edges are
//! the basic entities which will be visualized or hidden), and
//! -   faces in these shapes which hide the edges.
//! HLRBRep_Algo is based on the principle of comparing each edge of the shape to be
//! visualized with each of its faces, and calculating the visible and the hidden parts of each edge.
//! For a given projection, HLRBRep_Algo calculates a set of lines characteristic of the
//! object being represented. It is also used in conjunction with the
//! HLRBRep_HLRToShape extraction utilities, which reconstruct a new, simplified shape
//! from a selection of calculation results. This new shape is made up of edges, which
//! represent the shape visualized in the projection.
//! HLRBRep_Algo takes the shape itself into account whereas HLRBRep_PolyAlgo
//! works with a polyhedral simplification of the shape. When you use HLRBRep_Algo, you
//! obtain an exact result, whereas, when you use HLRBRep_PolyAlgo, you reduce
//! computation time but obtain polygonal segments. In the case of complicated
//! shapes, HLRBRep_Algo may be time-consuming.
//! An HLRBRep_Algo object provides a framework for:
//! -   defining the point of view
//! -   identifying the shape or shapes to be visualized
//! -   calculating the outlines
//! -   calculating the visible and hidden lines of the shape.
//! Warning
//! -   Superimposed lines are not eliminated by this algorithm.
//! -   There must be no unfinished objects inside the shape you wish to visualize.
//! -   Points are not treated.
//! -   Note that this is not the sort of algorithm used in generating shading, which
//! calculates the visible and hidden parts of each face in a shape to be visualized by
//! comparing each face in the shape with every other face in the same shape.
