NAME
          DtShapeGetCount - Get the number of shapes in the database.


     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Dt.h>


          int  DtShapeGetCount( void )


     DESCRIPTION
          DtShapeGetCount() returns the number of shapes ( geometric
          or node objects) .


     IMPLEMENTATION
          In the AliasAPI implementation of Dt, polysets in Alias
          models are converted into single shapes. Non-polygonal
          geometry is tesselated (according to the settings in the
          Render Stats window) with each resultant polyset generating
          a corresponding shape in Dt.

          In a hierarchical model, shapes may be generated which
          contain no geometry but have children. These shapes will
          have transformation information necessary for the
          positioning of their child shapes and proper output of the
          model as a whole.


     DIAGNOSTICS
          DtShapeGetCount() returns the number of shapes.
