from hwx.inspire import *

class Joint(GeneralObject):
type = Enum([

   ("PLANAR",      "Planar"),
   ("REVOLUTE",    "Revolute"),

])

joint = Joint()
print("Default type", joint.type)

joint.type = "REVOLUTE"
print(joint.type, "'s display value is", joint.type.guiValue)

try:
   joint.type = "INVALID VALUE"
except AttributeValueError as error:
   print(error)
