class LeafFromGeometry(Leaf):
    """The LeafFromGeometry object can be used whenever a Leaf object is expected as an
    argument. Leaf objects are used to specify the items in a display group. Leaf objects 
    are constructed as temporary objects, which are then used as arguments to DisplayGroup 
    commands. 
    The LeafFromGeometry object is derived from the Leaf object. 

    Attributes
    ----------
    leafType: SymbolicConstant
        A SymbolicConstant specifying the leaf type. Possible values are EMPTY_LEAF,
        DEFAULT_MODEL, ALL_ELEMENTS, ALL_NODES, and ALL_SURFACES.

    Notes
    -----
    This object can be accessed by:

    .. code-block:: python

        import displayGroupMdbToolset

        Parameters
        ----------
        edgeSeq
            A sequence of geometry edges. 
        faceSeq
            A sequence of geometry faces. 
        cellSeq
            A sequence of geometry cells.

        -------
            A LeafFromGeometry object. 

        Raises
        ------
            - If at least one of the sequences is not passed to this method:
