	Hello, I am trying get the node shape type using getShape(), however, I'm getting an answer [object Object]. For example: i want 'Decision' shape or 'Ellipse'. I am using the code: Code (HTML) for (let link of diagram.getLinks()) { var ori = link.getOrigin(); var des = link.getDestination(); 'The node ' + `${ori.getText()} has the shape ${ori.getShape()}` + '\n'; } Where ori.getShape() should be something like 'Decision' shape or 'Ellipse' for example.

	Oh, it worked. Thank you! I didn't expect to have to access the attribute via another function. When I used setShape(), I just needed to add what kind of shape I wanted.

	Hi, So Shape is an object that defines the elements of node's geometry (and you could use to define your own shapes). It's what ShapeNode keeps internally, but maybe it's a bit misleading that setShape also accepts string argument as in ShapeNode.setShape(id), which is a shortcut to ShapeNode.setShape(Shape.fromId(id)); Regards, Slavcho
