Creates a VRML polyline object.

x, y—Each parameter is a 1D array containing npoint elements specifying the polyline coordinates.

z—(optional) A 1D array containing npoint elements, specifying a z-axis polyline coordinate. (Default: 0, a line on the x-y plane)

Use the following keywords to set the object properties and material properties.

The following keywords describe or define the VRML polyline object.

Transform—A 4-by-4 matrix containing the transformation to be applied to the polyline object.

The following properties, when set, are applied to the line.

AmbientColor—A (3, n) array of RGB color, in the range of 0 and 255. If AmbientColor is an n-element array, then the color is interpreted as grayscale.

DiffuseColor—A (3, n) array of RGB color, in the range of 0 and 255. If DiffuseColor is an n-element array, then the color is interpreted as grayscale.

EmissiveColor—A (3, n) array of RGB color, in the range of 0 and 255. If EmissiveColor is an n-element array, then the color is interpreted as grayscale.

MaterialIndices—An array of indices into the material property arrays in the range of 0 to n – 1, relating each vertex of the polyline to the set of material properties (AmbientColor, DiffuseColor, EmissiveColor, SpecularColor, Transparency, Shininess). There should be NPOINT elements in this array (one per vertex in the polyline). (Default: n = npoint, where the set of material properties relates one-to-one to its corresponding vertices)

Shininess—An n-element array of shininess, in the range of 0 to 255.

SpecularColor—(3, n) array of RGB color, in the range of 0 to 255. If SpecularColor is an n-element array, then the color is interpreted as grayscale.

Transparency—An n-element array of transparency, in the range of 0 to 255.

VRML_LINE draws a polyline using an IndexedLineSet node.
