[Gmsh] How can I classify faces of an imported OPEN CASCADE geometry by color?

[Wesley Ranger]

Thank you, Christophe. I had implemented the function this weekend. My
python code is like below:

```python

ens = gmsh.model.getEntities()
G_INIT_Tags = []
G_SYM_Tags = []
G_HIL_Tags = []
VOLUME_G_Tags = []
for crtEntity in ens:
    crtDim = crtEntity[0]
    crtTag = crtEntity[1]
    crtColor = gmsh.model.getColor(crtDim, crtTag)
    if crtDim == 2:
        physicalType =
AutoMesh.PhysicalType.fromSurfaceColor(crtColor[0], crtColor[1],
crtColor[2])
        if physicalType == AutoMesh.PhysicalType.G_INIT:
            G_INIT_Tags.append(crtTag)
        elif physicalType == AutoMesh.PhysicalType.G_SYM:
            G_SYM_Tags.append(crtTag)
        elif physicalType == AutoMesh.PhysicalType.G_HIL:
            G_HIL_Tags.append(crtTag)

if len(G_INIT_Tags) > 0:
    G_INIT_GroupTag = gmsh.model.addPhysicalGroup(2, G_INIT_Tags)
    gmsh.model.setPhysicalName(2, G_INIT_GroupTag,
str(AutoMesh.PhysicalType.G_INIT.value))
logging.debug("%d initial burn faces in model.", len(G_INIT_Tags))

if len(G_SYM_Tags) > 0:
    G_SYM_GroupTag = gmsh.model.addPhysicalGroup(2, G_SYM_Tags)
    gmsh.model.setPhysicalName(2, G_SYM_GroupTag,
str(AutoMesh.PhysicalType.G_SYM.value))
logging.debug("%d initial grain symmetry faces in model.", len(G_SYM_Tags))

if len(G_HIL_Tags) > 0:
    G_HIL_GroupTag = gmsh.model.addPhysicalGroup(2, G_HIL_Tags)
    gmsh.model.setPhysicalName(2, G_HIL_GroupTag,
str(AutoMesh.PhysicalType.G_HIL.value))
logging.debug("%d initial grain-HIL faces in model.", len(G_HIL_Tags))
```

BTW, if you want to read color information from a *.stp file exported
via Creo, you have to set "step_export_format" option to "ap214_is"
and make sure to check the "datum points & curves" option in the
exporting option window, in order to ensure Gmsh can get the color
information correctly. If you do not do this, the color may look OK in
Creo, but Gmsh recognizes all surface color as pure blue. (Gmsh
version 4.4.1)

I am glad to see that the OpenCASCADE CAD kernel is now able to read "color & label information" from step files. But I haven't managed to find any clue on utilizing such information to set meshing options.
