//! This class implements the following algorithms used <br>
//!           to create a Line from Geom. <br>
//!           * Create a Line parallel to another and passing <br>
//!             through a point. <br>
//!           * Create a Line passing through 2 points. <br>
//! A MakeLine object provides a framework for: <br>
//! -   defining the construction of the line, <br>
//! -   implementing the construction algorithm, and <br>
//! -   consulting the results. In particular, the Value <br>
//!   function returns the constructed line. <br>
