Gets the geometry for the shape, such as Rectangle, RoundedRectangle, or Ellipse, which defines operations associated with the outline of the shape.
ShouldTryParentShapeForMergeOnToolboxDoubleClick
If true, when the user double-clicks a toolbox item with this shape selected, if the tool cannot be merged with this shape, then a merge with the parent shape will be attempted. Defaults to true.
