* Added Part::Feature::getTopoShape/getShape() function that can obtain
shape from any object with proper implementation of getSubObject(). It
can even construct compound from group object with proper implementation
of getSubObjects().
* Modified ViewProviderExt to work on any object, because it now obtain
the shape using Part::Feature::getShape()
* Modified various Part features to obtain base/tool shapes using
Part::getShape(), which allows them to be any type of object,
including Link and groups.
* Modified various Part command to relax type requirement on selected
objects.
* Add support of link and group to dimension, and add dimension refresh
command
* Support link and group in simple command command, and add a few more
copy command variations.
* Add special handling of 'Shape' attribute in PropertyContainerPy and
use Part::Feature::getShape() to return shape for any object without
Shape property. This allows many python feature work with any object
without modification.
* GeometrySurface/CurvePy, add convenience attribute 'Rotation'
* TopoShapePy:
* Extended support of sub shape attribute, e.g. Compound1, Solid2,
SubShape3 ('SubShape' is used to access child shape of a compound)
* makeWires(), new API to sort and return wires given a list of edges.
* transformed/translated/rotated/scaled(), return a new shape with
some transformation.
* findPlane(), find the plane of a planar shape
* isCoplanar(), check if two shape are coplanar
========================================
Generalisation of code for a default geometry extension in the form of a template.
Default geometry extensions provide a standard interface for an extension having a single stored value (e.g. one int or one string).
Python implementation must be provided separatedly.
==============================================================
1) Basic set/get interface for poles, weights, knots and multiplicities
2) Introduction of GeomBoundedCurve class replicating OCC hierarchy. Why? To provide seamless start/end point interface for any bounded curve, i.e. Bezier, BSpline,
Note: The ArcOfConic start/end point interface relies on GeomTrimmedCurve, and introduces CCW/CW correcting code which relies on Axis. Axis are introduced in GeomConic and are
not part of GeomBounded.
Note 2: In the future, it may be thought to make GeomArcOfConic (the equivalent of GeomTrimmedCurve) deriving from GeomBoundedCurve, as to fully replicate OCC hierarchy. GeomBoundedCurve
defines the functions as virtual to allow seamless integration.
AttachableObjects are desired in multiple occasions, and the current AttachableObject is not flexible enough to handle all cases. Hence the code is portet to an extension, which gives the needed flexibility.
