class MakeLine from GC inherits Root from GC

    ---Purpose : This class implements the following algorithms used 
    --           to create a Line from Geom.
    --           * Create a Line parallel to another and passing 
    --             through a point.
    --           * Create a Line passing through 2 points.
    -- A MakeLine object provides a framework for:
    -- -   defining the construction of the line,
    -- -   implementing the construction algorithm, and
    -- -   consulting the results. In particular, the Value
    --   function returns the constructed line.

is

Create (A1 : Ax1 from gp) returns MakeLine;
    --- Purpose :
    --  Creates a line located in 3D space with the axis placement A1.
    --  The Location of A1 is the origin of the line. 

Create (L : Lin from gp) returns MakeLine;
    --- Purpose :
    --  Creates a line from a non persistent line from package gp.

Create (P : Pnt from gp;
    	V : Dir from gp) returns MakeLine;
    --- Purpose :
    --  P is the origin and V is the direction of the line.

Create(Lin    :     Lin from gp;
       Point  :     Pnt from gp) returns MakeLine;
    ---Purpose : Make a Line from Geom <TheLin> parallel to another 
    --           Lin <Lin> and passing through a Pnt <Point>.

Create(P1     :     Pnt from gp;
       P2     :     Pnt from gp) returns MakeLine;
    ---Purpose : Make a Line from Geom <TheLin> passing through 2 
    --           Pnt <P1>,<P2>.
    --           It returns false if <p1> and <P2> are confused.
    -- Warning
    -- If the points P1 and P2 are coincident (that is, when
    -- IsDone returns false), the Status function returns gce_ConfusedPoints.

    ---Purpose:  Returns the constructed line.
