How do I create a line between two points?

In order to create a simple line between two points, you have to perform the following steps:

• Create a new SplineShape object, position at the first point.

• Add a new Spline to the new object.

• Add a new corner Knot at the first position.

• Add a new corner Knot at the second position. Tell both knots to define a linear segment.

• Update the SplineShape to reflect the changes.

• Return the SplineShape as the result.

Here is the complete function implementing these steps:

fn drawLineBetweenTwoPoints pointA pointB =
(
  ss = SplineShape pos:pointA
  addNewSpline ss
  addKnot ss 1 #corner #line PointA
  addKnot ss 1 #corner #line PointB
  updateShape ss
  ss
)
newSpline = drawLineBetweenTwoPoints [10,20,30] [100,200,10]
