Why are there two boxes‘ illustration in the documentation

Asked by Wang Yu

Hello everyone,
I‘ ve found there are two illustrations of box(In Yade wrapper class reference below the Shape class and in Yade Utils module respectively )
What's the difference between the two boxes? I only found one in the source file utils.py in Folder 'trunk/py'.

Maybe it's just my lack of understanding of the structure of YADE.

Hello,

What do you mean exactly ? The existence of [1] and [2] ?

[1] is about the "Box" child class of "Shape". It may fit into in the shape attribute of a YADE body: if you want a box-shaped body.. It has its own C++ source files in pkg/common

[2] is about a handy function to create such a box-shaped body, with a shape of "Box" type but also all other attributes necessary to define a body

[2] https://yade-dem.org/doc/yade.utils.html#yade.utils.box
