- Create a 3D line from 3 column data
- --overwrite
- Allow output files to overwrite existing files
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
Parameters:
- input=string

DESCRIPTION
Imports a stream of ASCII x,y[,z] coordinates as a line or series of lines.
NOTES
Input ASCII coordinates are simply a series of "x y" data points.
Lines are separated by a row containing "NaN NaN".
The user can import 3D lines by providing 3 columns of data in the input
stream and using the -z flag.
This script is a simple wrapper around the v.in.mapgen module.
