local circle = createColCircle(0,0,1)
local cubboid = createColCuboid(0,0,0,0,0,0)
local sphere = createColSphere(0,0,0,0)
local rectangle = createColRectangle(0,0,0,0)
local polygon = createColPolygon(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)
local tube = createColTube(0,0,0,0,0)

iprint("circle",getColShapeType(circle), circle:getShapeType(), circle.shapeType)
iprint("cubboid",getColShapeType(cubboid), cubboid:getShapeType(), cubboid.shapeType)
iprint("sphere",getColShapeType(sphere), sphere:getShapeType(), sphere.shapeType)
iprint("rectangle",getColShapeType(rectangle), rectangle:getShapeType(), rectangle.shapeType)
iprint("polygon",getColShapeType(polygon), polygon:getShapeType(), polygon.shapeType)
iprint("tube",getColShapeType(tube), tube:getShapeType(), tube.shapeType)
