ClickPolyline()
Summary
Awaits user input from the system pointer and returns an array of coordinates that define a line.
Syntax
coord_array = ClickPolyline()

An array of two or more coordinates that define the polyline.
Notes
-
When used in a map window, ClickPolyline() returns coordinate values in longitude and latitude.
-
When used in a layout window, ClickPolyline() returns coordinate values in the current page units (e.g., inches).
-
This function should be called only from a macro that is activated from the menus, or from a tool in a toolbox or toolbar. Calling it from any other type of dialog box often causes confusion about which window is active (the dialog box, versus the map).
