geometry_line index x_0 y_0 z_0 x_1 y_1 z_1 radius

This data item defines a line in space. Other data items can check if nodes are located on this geometry. Coordinates of the end points are denoted by x_0, etc.. In 1D, only the $x$-coordinates should be specified, etc.. All node within a distance radius are considered to be part of the line.

In the example, a line in 2D space is defined and is used by a convection_geometry record (nodes located on the line will convect heat)
