class MakeEvolved from BRepOffsetAPI inherits MakeShape from BRepBuilderAPI

	---Purpose: Describes functions to build evolved shapes.
    	-- An evolved shape is built from a planar spine (face or
    	-- wire) and a profile (wire). The evolved shape is the
    	-- unlooped sweep (pipe) of the profile along the spine.
    	-- Self-intersections are removed.
    	-- A MakeEvolved object provides a framework for:
    	-- - defining the construction of an evolved shape,
    	-- - implementing the construction algorithm, and
    	-- - consulting the result.
    	--        Computes an Evolved by 
	--             1 - sweeping a profil along a spine.
	--             2 - removing the self-intersections.
	--             
	--  The profile is defined in a Referential R. The position of
	--  the profile at the current point of the  spine is given by
	--  confusing R  and the local  referential given by (  D0, D1
	--  and the normal of the Spine)
	--  
	--  If the Boolean <AxeProf> is  true, R is  O,X,Y,Z 
	--  else R is defined as the local refential at the nearest 
	--  point of the profil to the spine.
	--  
	--   if <Solid> is TRUE the Shape result  is completed to be a
	--   solid or a compound of solids.

	---Purpose: These constructors construct an evolved shape by sweeping the profile
    	-- Profile along the spine Spine.
    	--	The profile is defined in a coordinate system R.
    	-- The coordinate system is determined by AxeProf:
    	-- - if AxeProf is true, R is the global coordinate system,
    	-- - if AxeProf is false, R is computed so that:
    	--   - its origin is given by the point on the spine which is
    	--    closest to the profile,
    	--   - its "X Axis" is given by the tangent to the spine at this point, and
    	-- - its "Z Axis" is the normal to the plane which contains the spine.
    	--        The position of the profile at the current point of the
    	-- spine is given by making R coincident with the local
    	-- coordinate system given by the current point, the
    	-- tangent vector and the normal to the spine.
    	-- Join defines the type of pipe generated by the salient
    	-- vertices of the spine. The default type is GeomAbs_Arc
    	-- where the vertices generate revolved pipes about the
    	-- axis passing along the vertex and the normal to the
    	-- plane of the spine. At present, this is the only
    	-- construction type implemented.
