GEOLINE

Draw a geographic line (constant lat/lon) between two points.

13 parameters:

  1. Latitude of point 1 (Degree portion)
  2. Latitude of point 1 (Minute portion)
  3. Latitude of point 1 (Seconds portion)
  4. Longitude of point 1 (Degree portion)
  5. Longitude of point 1 (Minute portion)
  6. Longitude of point 1 (Seconds portion)
  7. Latitude of point 2 (Degree portion)
  8. Latitude of point 2 (Minute portion)
  9. Latitude of point 2 (Seconds portion)
  10. Longitude of point 2 (Degree portion)
  11. Longitude of point 2 (Minute portion)
  12. Longitude of point 2 (Seconds portion)
  13. Number of segments used to draw line.

Note:
This command can be used to draw lines such as parallels so that they will project correctly along their entire length.

Example:

GEOLINE 45,,,-90,,,45,,,-120,,30
Draws the 45th parallel from 90°W to 120°W; the 30 segment line may be straight or curved depending on the projection.
