The documentation for the various shapes are available here:
http://doc.cgal.org/latest/Point_set_shape_detection_3/group__PkgPointSetShapeDetection3Shapes.html

The iterator value type is Shape_base, from which all shapes inherits.
You need to use dynamic_cast to check what is the type of the current
primitive (limited to the shapes for which you created a factory)
