How to convert line to Polyline type in c#

Hi I'm kinda new to c#. This question maybe simple but I'm not be able to get it done.

I want to convert line in grasshopper to Polyline in c# so I can use command CenterPoint later.

Anyone has any idea how to do it?

Thanks in advance!

Well, a line would be an open polyline with a single segment, it doesn't have a center point. You want to convert curves to polylines? If so, are the curves curved? If so, what metrics and tolerances do you want to use for the approximating polyline?

Thanks for your reply David Rutten! I think I got confused between using Line and Curve in grasshopper so C# take in curve as objects instead of recognizing it as curves. Sorry for the trouble. I will try to figure out on my own as much as possible next time. Again Im kinda new to C# and grasshopper.

Thanks,

Chau

The Curve class has a ToPolyline method on it which you can use to create a polyline approximation of the curve. This method has all sorts of settings so you can control both angular and distance tolerances.
