Warning

Do not instantiate entity classes by yourself - always use the provided factory functions!

class ezdxf.entities.Line

dxf.start

start point of line (2D/3D Point in WCS)

dxf.end

end point of line (2D/3D Point in WCS)

dxf.thickness

Line thickness in 3D space in direction extrusion, default value is 0. This value should not be confused with the lineweight value.

dxf.extrusion

extrusion vector, default value is (0, 0, 1)

transform(m: ezdxf.math._matrix44.Matrix44) → ezdxf.entities.line.Line

Transform the LINE entity by transformation matrix m inplace.

translate(dx: float, dy: float, dz: float) → ezdxf.entities.line.Line

Optimized LINE translation about dx in x-axis, dy in y-axis and dz in z-axis.
