Broken/Line — Polyline — Chain of Connected Segments

What It Does

The Broken/Line operator creates a polyline — a chain of connected line segments. Each segment is defined by a starting point and a direction angle. Segments connect end-to-end forming a continuous polyline. Broken lines are stored as Line entities (L-prefix).

Syntax

Broken/Line/P1,A1/P2,A2/P3,A3/...

Quick Input

P1: [first point], A1: [first segment angle]
P2: [second point], A2: [second segment angle]
... (repeat for each segment)

Direction Selector

No direction selector is required. The result is uniquely determined by the input geometry.

Worked Examples

Example — Three-segment polyline:
  P0=(0,0), A=0°
  P1=(50,0), A=90°
  P2=(50,40), A=180°

Broken/Line/P0,0/P1,90/P2,180
→ L0: (0,0)→(50,0) at 0° [horizontal]
→ L1: (50,0)→(50,40) at 90° [vertical]
→ L2: (50,40)→... at 180° [horizontal left]

Analytic Rule

Each segment starts at Pi with direction Ai.
Segments connect end-to-end.
Final segment extends until it meets next geometry or boundary.

All segments stored as individual Line entities.
Each assigned an individual line reference identifier.

Result: Exact analytic polyline segments.
