function FID = dxf_polyline(FID, X, Y, Z)
%DXF_POLYLINE Store lines in DXF file.
%   DXF_POLYLINE(FID, X, Y, Z) writes polylines into DXF file. 
%   FID is valid DXFLIB structure created with DXF_OPEN routine. 
%   X, Y and Z are matrices of the same size containing coordinates of 
%   points for polylines. One separate line per column of matrix is 
%   drawn. 
%   
%   See also DXF_OPEN, DXF_CLOSE.
