The word round can have several meanings, such as “round like a circle” (→circular or ring-shaped), “round like a roll or drum” (→cylindrical) or “round like a ball” (→spherical). It can also serve as a distinction from the usual shape of the object in question, e.g. “round, not rectangular” or “round, not flat” or “round, without edges”. More precise meanings of the word round are generally preferrable:
"n" – blue box (for navigation) - if the category is about well defined oval, elliptical, circular, polygonal,… objects or themes
"c" – yellow-infobox (for maintenance)
empty
optional

2D- or 3D-shapes:
EMPTY – informations about 2D- and 3D-shapes are given in the infobox
"2" – if the objects in the according category only have 2D shapes, the 3D shapes are not displayed in the infobox
