<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

Imports a stream of ASCII x,y[,z] coordinates as a line or series of lines.

<h2>NOTES</h2>

Input ASCII coordinates are simply a series of "x&nbsp;y" data points.
Lines are separated by a row containing "<tt>NaN&nbsp;NaN</tt>".
<!-- TODO:? Line categories start at 1 and increase sequentially. -->
<p>The user can import 3D lines by providing 3 columns of data in the input
stream and using the <b>-z</b> flag.
<p>This script is a simple wrapper around the <em>v.in.mapgen</em> module.
