You should use the object type contour when edges or features of bodies are to be processed as a separate set. Once this set has been formed, you may perform various operations on it, e.g. rounding.

You may use the objects line, circle (arc) or ellipse (elliptical arc) as boundary elements. You may identify them explicitly or automatically.

Contours may be open or closed. They may contain one or more "contour-parts" which don't have to be connected.

Each contour has a direction which depends on the order of input parameters. This affects internal calculations, e.g. parallel contours.
