Retrieve Structuring Element Shape from Object

Hello.

I have some matlab structuring elements generated randomly and I would like to retrieve the shape name during runtime. For example:

    se=strel('square',3);
    shape=SOMEFUNCTION(se);
    disp(shape);

And the result would get me 'square'. Is that possible, once when I display "se" variable, it says "strel is a square shaped structuring element..."?

Thank you so much!

Read about fprintf

se=strel('square',3);
shape=SOMEFUNCTION(se);
fprintf('strel is %s shaped structuring element\n',shape)

Actually what I seek is this "SOMEFUNCTION". I need to discover the shape of a random structuring element.
