Description
This curve defines an infinite straight line in the two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. It is represented by a point and a unit vector specifying the direction. A straight also has a scale factor for the parameterization, so that the parameter values can be made invariant under transformation.
A straight line is an open curve that is not periodic. It is parameterized as:
pos = root + u*pscale*dir
where u is the parameter.
