# MakeLine

The **MakeLine** function constructs a LineString from a series of Point or LineString data.

### Syntax

```
MakeLine(geo1, geo2, ...)
```

The function has these arguments:

<table><thead><tr><th width="258"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>geo1</td><td><p><br>Required</p><p>A valid point or line value that can be located on the Earth's sphere; must comply with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate_system">Geographic Coordinate System</a></p></td></tr><tr><td>geo2</td><td><p><br>Required</p><p>A valid point or line value that can be located on the Earth's sphere; must comply with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate_system">Geographic Coordinate System</a></p></td></tr><tr><td>geo3 through geoN</td><td><p>Optional</p><p>A valid point or line value that can be located on the Earth's sphere; must comply with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate_system">Geographic Coordinate System</a></p></td></tr></tbody></table>

When using line segments in arguments, Analytics Pro treats the terminal points of the line as separate points, in order. For example, the expression:

```
MakeLine(point1, MakeLine(point2, point3), Makeline(point4, point5, point6))
```

is the same as the expression:

```
MakeLine(point1, point2, point3, point4, point5, point6)
```

### Examples

```
MakeLine([Point], MakePoint(-74.044502, 40.689247))
```

```
MakeLine(MakePoint(2.294481, 48.85837), [Point], MakePoint(-74.044502, 40.689247))
``

```

MakeLine(MakeLine(MakePoint(48.85837, 2.294481), MakePoint(-0.075278, 51.505554)), \[Point], MakeLine(MakePoint(40.689247, -74.044502), MakePoint(-77.050636, 38.889248)))

```
These examples create lines between:

1. The points in the **Point** column, and the location of the Statue of Liberty at coordinates (-74.044502, 40.689247)
2. The location of the Eiffel Tower (2.294481, 48.85837), the **Point** column, and the location of the Statue of Liberty (-74.044502, 40.689247)
3. The line between the Eiffel Tower (2.294481, 48.85837) and the Tower Bridge ( -0.075278, 51.505554), the **Point** column, and the line between the Empire State building (-73.985428, 40.748817) and the Lincoln Memorial (-77.050636, 38.889248).
