- AnyType GETLINE( NumericType RequestedType )
-
- Provides a method to get input from keyboard within functions and
- or subroutines. RequestedType can be one of NUMERIC_TYPE,
- POINT_TYPE, VECTOR_TYPE, or PLANE_TYPE in which the entered line
- will be parsed into one, three, or four numeric values (sperated by
- either spaces or commas) and the proper object will be created and
- returned. In any other case, including failure to parse the numeric
- input, a STRING_TYPE object will be constructed from the entered line.
-
- Example:
-
- Pt = GETLINE( point_type );
-
- to read one point (three numeric values) from stdin.
