Description

The tool allows one to convert points into lines. Several attributes can be specified to control the construction of the lines:
  1. an attribute that specifies the order of the points along each line
  2. an attribute with a line identifier that is used to separate lines
  3. an attribute with height information that is used as vertex Z value (output shapes layer will be of type XYZ)
  4. an attribute with measure information that is used as vertex M value (output shapes layer will be of type XYZM)


If no attributes are specified, a single line is constructed from the points in the saved sequence.
