6.7.21 POLYLINESUB (r, p)

Creates a polyline defined by a subrange r of the vertices of another polyline p.

r is a typeless node to which the lower and upper vertex numbers of the subrange of the other polyline are connected, p must be a polyline type node (see 6.7.20).

In the C++ class hierarchy the class created by the POLYLINE keyword is derived from a general polyline class (see POLYLINE, 6.7.20), so that it can be used at any places where a polyline is expected (with the same number format and vertex type of course)

The following variations of this keyword exist (some of them define the same internal structures, and are only defined to allow consistent naming conventions):
