19 ---Purpose: The BRepBuilderAPI package provides an Application
20 -- Programming Interface for the BRep topology data
23 -- The API is a set of classes aiming to provide :
25 -- * High level and simple calls for the most common
28 -- * Keeping an access on the low-level
29 -- implementation of high-level calls.
31 -- * Examples of programming of high-level operations
32 -- from low-level operations.
34 -- * A complete coverage of modelling :
36 -- - Creating vertices ,edges, faces, solids.
38 -- - Sweeping operations.
40 -- - Boolean operations.
42 -- - Global properties computation.
45 -- The API provides classes to build objects:
47 -- * The constructors of the classes provides the
48 -- different constructions methods.
50 -- * The class keeps as fields the different tools
51 -- used to build the object.
53 -- * The class provides a casting method to get
54 -- automatically the result with a function-like
57 -- For example to make a vertex <V> from a point <P>
60 -- V = BRepBuilderAPI_MakeVertex(P);
64 -- BRepBuilderAPI_MakeVertex MV(P);
68 -- For tolerances a default precision is used which
69 -- can be changed by the packahe method
70 -- BRepBuilderAPI::Precision.
72 -- For error handling the BRepBuilderAPI commands raise only
73 -- the NotDone error. When Done is false on a command
74 -- the error description can be asked to the command.
76 -- In theory the comands can be called with any
77 -- arguments, argument checking is performed by the
