We investigate the orbital behavior in a class of analytic potentials in order to isolate the families of orbits which lead to the appropriate appearance of boxy/peanut features. This is the first step towards understanding the orbits of particles in N-body simulations of barred galaxies. Our final goal is to find out which dynamical mechanisms determine the peanut or boxy shapes.
