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.

EXAMPLE

       v.in.lines in=- out=two_lines separator=, <<EOF

       167.846649,-46.516644
       167.846642,-46.516643
       NaN,NaN
       167.846520,-46.516457
