Represents a grouping of Paths.

Example

This example adds a Polyline to the map in an acetate layer. It first creates a new Polyline, adds two Path objects to it, sets the Polyline as the geometry of an acetate GeometryElement, creates an AcetateLayer to hold the GeometryElement, and finally adds the AcetateLayer to the map. The code assumes an existing MapView object.

Remarks

A Polyline is a type of geometry, and may be used to add graphics to the map, in a filter to select features in a layer, and may be returned as the geometry of features when performing a query. For details, see Geometry.

A Polyline consists of one or more Path objects, stored as a PathCollection in the Paths property. For example, a road may be represented by a series of linear segments (paths), each path being a highway segment between intersections with other roads.
