Data Descriptors
----------------


   
   Center
       This property specifies the 3D coordinates of the center
       of the superquadric.
   
   PhiResolution
       The value of this property represents the number of
       divisions in the phi (latitudinal) direction. This number will be
       rounded to the nearest multiple of 4.
   
   PhiRoundness
       This property defines the roundness in the phi
       (latitudinal) direction. A value of 0 represents a rectangular shape, a
       value of 1 represents a circular shape, and values greater than 1
       produce higher order shapes.
   
   Scale
       The three values in this property are used to scale the
       superquadric in X, Y, and Z. The surface normals will be computed
       correctly even with anisotropic scaling.
   
   Size
       The value of this property represents the isotropic size
       of the superquadric. Note that both the Size and Thickness properties
       control coefficients of superquadric generation, so the value of this
       property may not exactly describe the size of the
       superquadric.
   
   ThetaResolution
       The value of this property represents the number of
       divisions in the theta (longitudinal) direction. This value will be
       rounded to the nearest multiple of 8.
   
   ThetaRoundness
       This property defines the roundness of the superquadric
       in the theta (longitudinal) direction. A value of 0 represents a
       rectangular shape, a value of 1 represents a circular shape, and values
       greater than 1 produce higher order shapes.
   
   Thickness
       If the value of the Toroidal property is 1, this value
       represents the thickness of the superquadric as a value between 0 and
       1. A value close to 0 leads to a thin object with a large hole, and a
       value near 1 leads to a thick object with a very small hole. Changing
       the thickness does not change the outer radius of the
       superquadric.
   
   Toroidal
       If the value of this property is 0, the generated
       superquadric will not contain a hole (i.e., the superquadric will be
       ellipsoidal). Otherwise, a toroidal object is
       generated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


   
   GetProperty(self, name)
       Given a property name, returns the property object.
   
   GetPropertyValue(self, name)
       Returns a scalar for properties with 1 elements, the property
       itself for vectors.
   
   InitializeFromProxy(self, aProxy, update=True)
       Constructor. Assigns proxy to self.SMProxy, updates the server
       object as well as register the proxy in _pyproxies dictionary.
   
   ListProperties(self)
       Returns a list of all property names on this proxy.
   
   SetPropertyWithName(self, pname, arg)
       Generic method for setting the value of a property.
   
   __del__(self)
       Destructor. Cleans up all observers as well as remove
       the proxy from the _pyproxies dictionary
   
   __eq__(self, other)
       Returns true if the underlying SMProxies are the same.
   
   __getattr__(self, name)
       With the exception of a few overloaded methods,
       returns the SMProxy method
   
   __init__(self, \*\*args)
       Default constructor. It can be used to initialize properties
       by passing keyword arguments where the key is the name of the
       property. In addition registrationGroup and registrationName (optional)
       can be specified (as keyword arguments) to automatically register
       the proxy with the proxy manager.
   
   __iter__(self)
       Creates an iterator for the properties.
   
   __ne__(self, other)
       Returns false if the underlying SMProxies are the same.
   
   __setattr__(self, name, value)
   
   add_attribute(self, name, value)
